Hello James,I am not sure if it was mentioned here or not but Section 8 tenants are backed/insured by the government as far as damages go.

Here is a website with additional information: https://studentaid.ed.gov/sa/repay-loans/consolidationDepending on your source and level of income, there are different repayment plans the previously mentioned website discusses.I can only speak from experience with Great Lakes, but you can google student loan consolidation to find others.Hope this helps.

I too asked that of a local agent that is part of a RE investment group I belong to and she was great at getting me some information and discussing the very same thing.What she mentioned about the schooling was it works for some just to do the online but others need/want that classroom atmosphere to get answers quickly.

More employed people with lower expenses means they have more wiggle room to rent a nicer place.Sara also mentioned looking at whether or not new businesses or franchises have opened nearby, which is a great tip if you are looking for up-and-coming neighborhoods.

My biggest advice to you is to just get started.Also since you mentioned Florida: I would be happy to connect with you if you have any questions about it. 

Other times they'll get a pet after the fact and "forget" to mention it.  

-Tenant sends me email claiming they took pictures when they moved out (I mentioned I had taken pictures of move in condition so they got the idea from me, I could see the light turn on when I mentioned it) and that they expect their entire deposit back and that I said I would prorate their last months rent.

If food / fast food / drive thru - the brand needs to go dark and buy out of lease or file's BK - is there a replacement brand waiting in the wings.  

I see a lot of post mentioning being new to the industry and having a goal of 20 houses within year 1 of their portfolio and their starting out with no money at all.

Is it safe to wait and see what the rates change too after the 3 year period.
