@Michael NotoThey barely can afford the deposit so it’s tough to find a Sec 8 tenant able to pay deposit and first months rent. 2 months is just the standard for getting setup on the program and getting the first check.

Rates are down, conforming loan limits are up, unemployment is at an all time low, building permits are up, big tech is moving here, tax advantages and still affordable at a SFH Resale median price of 320K.On December 30, 2019 the U.S.
