Hi guys I am a new member  and this is my first post, hope you are all fine and doing good.

I'm also familiar with tenants who care far less than owners.A free apartment in a safer area would suit me just fine.

The city is going fine you every time there is a weed in front of your property, every time the police are called on your tenants and every time there is trash in front of your property.  

But that's fine, get their info and stay in contact constantly!

Fine.

@Shane Short  Craigslist and Zillow are fine.

@Tyler Brown With 2 properties, you should be just fine with QBO.

Which is really not only a fee but also random scheduled inspections which can invoke additional fines. 

If you screen the tenants as you would anyone else, you should do fine with Section 8. 

Getting licensed and insured is probably way cheaper than the lawyers and fines if you don't.Good luck!
