Currently we are dealing in single family homes and non-commercial multi-family but have future growth visions on mid-sized commercial multi-family as well as STR's.Outside of real estate, I enjoy God - Family - Fishing and Friends.Excited to learn and connect with you all!

@Aaron Davis My personal experience is that non section 8 tenants don't play well with section 8 tenants.Frank

Either way, I would definitely recommend checking with your state's legal guidelines as well as getting legal council just to be sure you stay within both your's and the tenant's rights. 

I am more on the cash flow team, but would also trying to get something for our future generation as well if possible.

:Might as well go for it most tenants in c class areas are nuts anyway so the extra rent money is icing on the cake  LOL!

I thought this was the case as well. 

You might be able to get some random Edison technician to say, "Well, I guess it would be okay," after eyeballing it, but that's no guarantee that after you buy the property, Edison or Long Beach or someone comes along and says you can't. 

If there's other appliance protection that's better/cheaper, I'm interested in hearing the options as well.

Be careful with the tenant, as well, as stated herein. 

Being newer we are open to any advice for the area as well!
