Just screen section 8 tenants like you would anyone else, just do not weight the income as much.

Student loan debt is huge and will likely be a huge problem in the future, taking on that large amount of unsecured debt so young is like a weight that you will carry all through life.

His word (and lack of credit/income/assets) going to carry more weight with potential partners if he has a track record to back it up.

Over time, I can raise rents gradually to minimize hardship and vacancies, but if they got Section 8 vouchers, I could basically double rents without necessarily raising the amount the tenant would have to pay.  

We have fixed things immediately when he let us know, and have replaced some major neglected issues internally (new plumbing, structure issues) , but while you might look at the place is say "slumlord" what you don't see, is the long term plan to do improvements each year and raise rent gradually. 

Your posts carry a lot of weight on BP.

I wouldn't put too much weight on the size.  

I personally don't want to be too over-weighted in one market or the other; I'm aiming for a somewhat even blend between the two, probably slightly heavier in real estate.

Skip breakfast daily (work yourself up gradually) and when you’re ready to get to the big leagues, attempt to fast for an entire day (no breakfast, lunch or dinner)For all the health benefits under the sun that come with fasting, see Dr.
