And I get it, you were posting here to ask other investors...we just need to ask people in your market. 

They will lead you in the right direction.

I sponsor a few people, as a broker that do apartment locating and I will do it from time to time if there is good money to be made.

They post the unit and the leads come in.

The buffer was nice to have, because people living paycheck-to-paycheck are always one problem away from not making rent.

Some people buy a house as their primary residence, live in one bedroom and rent out the other bedrooms.

This may not be a big deal like many people are saying… but this is a huge purchase for you so why not do as much due diligence as possible.

We provide housing for Homeless and Addicted people in underserved communities, and in an attempt to revitalize our Downtown area, and expand our Program (part of it is home ownership and entrepreneurship) we need to be able to buy adjudicated properties, or have them donated, then have the finances to redevelop and repair them.
