Eventually, years down the road, I would like to sell some of the properties that I have acquired to pay off other properties and own them free and clear.

Though I don’t have my finger on the pulse of our Airbnb market to the extent some of my more experienced investor clients I’m sure have, I can relay some pretty consistent feedback from multiple hosts.

A little bit about myself, I have a full time W-2 job that pays pretty well on the blue collar side. 

I'd also talk to the current owner, so if they want, they can let the tenants in that unit know.Hopefully you are getting their deposits transferred to you (it is the tenants' money and you will have to pay it back in full when they go because you don't know the condition of the unit when they moved in). 

If it is paint, inside, perhaps but even then they pay rent and you pay them for the work they do.

I assume you have low-interest 1st lien mortgages on those properties that you don't want to pay off. 

You have bills to pay and if they promise you your money by a certain time each month, then you should be getting it.

HUD provides the list to their Section 8 clients for properties accepting Section 8, but it doesn't have a good reputation.

Unfortunately, over the 11 months he has lived there, he has only managed to pay the rent on time once.

If it were sold through normal real estate brokerage firms, we would have to pay 6% commission, therefore I deducted 6% from the appraised value to arrive at an adjusted value  of $436,160.
