Hey guys- my name is Jonathan and I have a typical 9-5 job the finance/accounting.

Managing a rental is nearly a full-time job, especially if you're tailoring the property to your guest avatar, always staying on top of the local market, and learning pricing strategy like the back of your hand.  5.

more so looking for cashflow than appreciation but it would be nice to have both. my strategy is to buy somewhat turnkey homes then renting out to section 8. thanks in advance!

Separate the wheat from the chaff.When you meet them in the street, just say hello with a smile--you never know-- your next painter (or other) might be their cousin--recommended to you by them, as that nice landlord.Good Luck!

Also, focus on 2 years of job/income stability.Class D Properties:Cashflow vs Appreciation: Typically, all cashflow with zero or negative relative rent & value appreciationVacancy Est: 20%+ should be used to cover nonpayment, evictions & damages.Tenant Pool: majority will have FICO scores under 560, little to no good tradelines, lots of collections & chargeoffs, recent evictions.

Nice job!
