I’d recommend running cash flow scenarios on any potential deal to ensure it aligns with your financial goals.If you’d like help analyzing properties or securing financing, let me know I’d be happy to assist.Best,Drago

Right now, I am curious about, but not anything close to sophisticated on, office, especially in the suburbs of Denver where I live.

However, the people who use rules of thumb don't have sophisticated software that can analyze deeply thousands of potential deals every day!

Income tax refund (forced savings account where govt keeps your interest) gives them the cash they need for first month's rent + security deposit.10) Realities of S8: most tenants no longer have 100% of rent paid by the program.- Good luck getting them to pay their portion for the duration of their lease- Be careful including utilities in the rent as they then won't care about a running toilet resulting in a $500 water bill.- S8 tenants don['t want to pay application fees- S8 tenants cry broke about paying security deposits- S8 tenants in the program for 10+ years claim ignoreance on filling out their paperwork because they've learned a desperate landlord will do it for them.If you want a S8 tenant, you MUST advertise on www.AffordableHousing.com

This not only secures your cash flow but could also turn a problematic tenant into a reliable one. 

It is a very secure investment, and it is almost impossible to lose money on this deal.

@Meena MallikFrom my experience, securing financing for commercial real estate involves understanding your options, such as conventional loans, commercial loans, private lenders, or partnerships.

A friend of mine rented her property near a base and connected with military housing officers at the Family Support Center, which helped secure steady tenants.

If these things weren't disclosed that could be an issue.Did you work with a licensed insurance agent to secure coverage?  

Finally, be open to slightly remote locations with better cash flow potential over high-appreciation markets.If you’d like help analyzing properties or securing financing, let me know I’d be happy to assist.Best,Drago
