@Yuriy Skripnichenko my goal is stable cash flow so I’m looking at rental properties near universities (Drexel, Upenn).

Find their sights and see what they offer in the way of off the shelf wording.

I would like to ask  @John Leavelle and others, how do you get over that psychological hump of owing large amounts, even if income stream is very stable?

Actually, an area with few renters might even be more in demand than an area with mostly tenants, because it's a more stable environment, when it's mostly home owners. 

Sounds like a stable person and decent income.

Tenants often overload the door shelves and break the shelf railings.This is a good opportunity to give your applicant a letter outlining what your expectations are in order for them to get their security deposit back, and what your charges are for damages beyond wear and tear.

Crypto-currencies seem to be the hottest growth item on the shelf these days, that said, they can depreciate wildly and quickly on a bad day.

Through these investments I want to develop strong cash flows that will provide me with stable side income.

I don't have any preference for or against Section 8 but all things considered my S8 tenants are more stable than the non...

My houses are in very stable nice neighborhoods and I think 2-3% appreciation is a safe assumption.
