Thanks Paul, that's actually what I wound up doing.

what is this "maintenance deductible" concept u speak of? 

what rents can u get with a single family and multi family house in the 19th ward location

As well as especially with HUD.. they know the value of a voucher as landlords get desperate when they have vacancies and break ins.. so they will move once their lease is up to the next FRESH rehabbed home.. get U haul at 10 am pack up move and be to the next brand new rehabbed home by 12 pm... wham ... they are gone you have a turn over and the cycle repeats.. 

A friend told me you roll the profits into a similar property (let's say U made 50k) and then sold the second property (profit 10k) - so you would pay capital gains on 10k??

I've made mistakes before where I've gotten overly excited and wound up completely overwhelmed.

I mean u should be getting paid too), and repairs.

Feel free to post examples here if u want, hey, thats why i started thread, to learn a few things.In 2 or 3 years, ill be able to put some of this information to use!

ILL EVEN GIVE U 75% PROFIT THE FIRST COUPLE DEALS, IT DOESNT MATTER TO ME, MONEY ISNT REALLY MY GOAL HERE... ** NO GURU STUFF PLEASE ...NOBODY KNOWS EVERYTHING AND IM NOT LOOKING FOR THAT TYPE OF PERSON ......... 

Appreciation in house can be taken out through equity or when u sell itCons of rental property vs flipping houses:1.
