If your investment goal is Cash Flow, then TK appears to reduce your risk substantially.

We stopped collecting late fee and reduced the rent as we were all facing difficult times and agreed in writing once the states opens up we would return to regular rent payment as stipulated on the lease.I required some documents from him to confirm he was out of work and his document showed he's been out of work since November.We've not received any rent since March, i reached out to him and he complained he was holding back rent because there are things in the property that needs to be fixed threatening to call an inspection officer to the house.

I work in the healthcare field, but am only two years in and am finding that having other people's health in my hands is causing me mass anxiety (but due to high student loan debt, I feel stuck).

The voucher from the government is nice since you know you will get paid and being qualified for section 8 reduces vacancies since there are a lot of people (in my area at least) that are on waiting lists for housing. 

That'll significantly reduce the number of cash buyers out there.

So the buyer saves 1.5% , the seller saves 1.5% of the negotiated price, and the selling agent is still getting their 3%.I have seen deals where the selling agent has made the deal work by reducing their own commission to get the seller and buyer to come together.

If you have a local partner, this will reduce their efforts as well. 

This can cost thousands.If you go the investment only route, and choose to not live there, loan options are much more reduced, and generally are 20 to 25% down.Hopefully that helps!

While a solid tenant creates stability and increases the value of the property, a tenant who cant pay reduces the value of the property.

WFH is reducing demand for office space, hotels are on the brink of major default because of the COVID scare, and retail is going down the drain.
