It is a 2 unit house currently with 1 tenent (non section 8).

The groups that I see are purchasing them in clusters and bring up an entire block or corner at a time.

@Lamonte Johnson City Heights has a lot of challenges because of the population, lots of Section 8, and has a history of violent crime.  

Our flippers do not cut corners if a home needs a roof they budget for it.

Box 7 is where contractor payments go, so...that would effect landlords hiring contractors.This accountant is supposed to be an expert in dealing with landlords, is on the speaking circuit around the county to REIAs, and recommended by a couple other landlords I know.My accountants response just came in,"oh, we forgot to update that in the memo...we will update that and resend it out to all our clients" , but I have the memo they sent last year regarding 1099s and they actually did update something else in that section so that makes me think they missed it...Already on my second accountant in 4 years due to mistakes by the last one who also advertises as an expert in rentals at local REIAs....Just caught a major error by the insurance company yesterday...ok rant over.

First floor is section 8 paying almost 90% of the current rent, tenant takes care of the rest (under value from what i have read and heard).

Maybe there's a section on this forum that I missed.

I don't think the guys working at the tacqueria around the corner are moonlighting as tech engineers.
