@Natalie Pilkinton, Thanks so much for your ideas and support.

@Raman BindlishIf you advertised it for rent in 2015, it goes on your 2015 return. 

You need a rent roll and bank statements with deposits that support the rent roll.Otherwise how are you to know you don't have 7 tennant's that don't pay?

Now, service, they did what they were advertising and I didn't have any issues until management changes came about and staff started leaving or were asked to leave.

It's also a great advertising strategy because buyers love seller financing due the easy transactional process most of the time.  

The process is fairly simple just put in your advertising Sec8 ok and make sure they have a voucher that corresponds to the number of bedrooms of the unit.

If the market will support that, why not just raise your rent and not pay the $15K?

The tax statements will give you an indication of the revenue, which will imply occupancy and collections.I include something in the contract that the Seller will provide reasonable documentation to support financing of the deal and that is a contingency to close.

Would you suggest the website focusing on seeking properties, or wait until I own a few, and then advertise them for sale or lease?

So, as I've said before on this form, if you're starting out, figure out your Adwords/Advertising strategy before you embark on your SEO strategy.
