The property will still cash flow with the extra cost of these expenses. 

So you may think "I will save 8% by self managing" but you could end up losing 20% in a single mistake. 

Section 8 is a tool for landlords, NOT a cure-all.Yes, a landlord can sometimes get higher rent via S8 than they can from cash paying tenant, but only in Class C- and D areas.

What is a good and or acceptable amount of money to have saved up before buying your first rental property I'm aware this can vary depending on the state/area but is there a rule of thumbThank you ahead of time 

Or does it purely my choice of whether I want cash flow or equity build? 

The reason I am asking is because in some cases I am not certain if I want to buy the property with non IRA cash or through the IRA.

Bought for cash flow, got appreciation, and then exited with their winnings. 

Buyer's agent suggested "Cash to move out" but I'm not exactly sure how that matters if the tenant is HUD and needs a new HUD apt. 

The house is situated in a desirable neighborhood but it seems they are only looking into cash offers. 1.

How can I negotiate to buy a house that didn't sell at $749k on the open market, subject to the existing mortgage with cash over, seller pay the broker fee and i buy "as is, where is"?
