Your best bet is to first gain an understanding of the market by taking a sample set of similar properties and determining how the different features impacted the overall value of each property.

You need to get an attorney involved ASAP.Look for someone through the Mass Bar Association who has a track record in defending these kinds of cases. https://www.massbar.org/public/lawyer-referral-ser...My understanding is the same as yours - if a property is not inspected and approved by the local housing administration (the local authority that administers Section 8), then Section 8 renters are not able to rent there.It's just a guess, but if your PM said something like "we don't rent to section 8", that could be the basis of the complaint. 

They both involve finding good off market deals.

I'm only nearly 5 mos in on my venture but we need to carry the following for our residential care (assisted living)  licensed for 41 beds - but we can hold 36 beds in our current configurationGeneral Liability (We buy through an independent broker - basically covers medical malpractice, any slip/falls etc)Workers CompAnd even though you arent interested - Non owned auto insurance in case staff use their own vehicles to run an errand etc, building insurance for wind/hail etc inc general property liabilityAll of this runs around $33k to 36k a year for us - thats before health insurance for us etc - Work Comp is the most expensive part of that mix.Your best bet is likely not to find the coverage by calling yourself - you'll just waste your time - find a broker that can sell you this insurance - as far as limits - some of the limits are state mandated and will be in the regulations. 

Your best bet is to find a lender that will allow you to close in the entity (My company allows it, even a brand new LLC but only on investment and max Loan to Value is 75% so there are drawbacks).

I am a newer investor, involved mainly in SFR in Gardena and Hawthorne area. 

But trustworthy boots on the ground will almost always be your best bet.

You are definitely heading the right way, and getting involved in BP is a great step in the right direction. 

I agree that I don’t WANT to move my family there but In 5+ years that could be an entirely different story.... and that’s kind of what I’m betting on.

I think it’s better to rent, but if you’re fixed on buying, I think getting roommates in a townhouse would be the best bet.
