Where we find a drawback on this move is our lack of knowledge of the legality of the question: "Can the Investment owner  Legally ask their tenant to try to apply for the section 8 voucher?"

My wife and I moved in and have been updating the house doing much of the work ourselves.

I am buying newer properties, built since 2000, so I'm moving up more than a century. 

We have insulated higher that the standards for new built houses, as heat costs rise, this move pays more and more.We look at what other owners are charging for rent via Craigslist, Zillow, Rentometer and Rentcast, and always look at HUDuser.org for the HUD Median rents. 

I would like house hacking to be my first point of focus then move into MFHs/SFHs as I learn more.I can contribute as I have a desire to continuously grow my knowledge, and I am willing to try new things and learn from others.Let's connect and chat!

You pay $100 for something worth $100, all you have done is move money from the cash/equivalents portion of your balance sheet to the 'other asset' category.

Sign an online lease and just leave the keys on the counter in the unit on their move-in day. 

The good thing is that it’s not busy after working hours or in the morning when most future tenants will be there after I move out of my side.

I have clients right now operating in the black and they are doing it because they are aligned with a great team for management @Alice Horn and they purchased with a clear plan to move forward. 

Many people are still moving here and property values have continued to appreciate and are projected to continue rising in the future.
