We are planning to buy a rental property for long term rental  putting 50/50 for the DP.

You will start to get the hang of it and put processes into place to stop or change the situation up, or just not buy the property because you know what they may run into. 

I am a rookie and I am ready to begin finding my first rental property.

We have a logo and a company name for all our properties, we look like a business. 

Had a pre foreclosure property under contract and had assigned rights to buyer for an assignment fee.

In July, the U.S. commercial real estate market experienced mixed results, with property price gains slowing, particularly among individual investors.

Whether you do that or not I don't think that will solve your problem (and I would generally recommend against it if it's a decent property as lots of Section 8 units together concentrates poverty and can bring a property down; yes there are plenty of good Section 8 tenants but we're speaking in aggregates here).The big thing you need to do is find a way to get all of the problem tenants out.

If someone developed a new property specifically for someone to buy who would be house hacking, what are some of the main things you would want to see in the property?

Hi Wonderful BP Community, I am in the process of acquiring an out of state property for mid term rental.

Most properties in liveable or renovated condition receive multiple offers.
