Personally, I've been in the mobile home investing space since 2007 without going the section 8 route.

@Zhen Yuango look in person. 

@Logan Rex if you are considering selling the SFR and going with a Highrise for house hacking purposes of eventually after the year or 2 and then keeping it as a rental.

David, the amount you will have to spend to locate the property (run adds, put up signs, buy lists and etc) is not comparable to the amount you would have to invest if you wanted to personally buy that property, hire a crew to fix it and absorb the costs of owning that property before you could sell it.

I have a decent salary, excellent credit score, no personal debt, no personal mortgage.

Out of courtesy and necessity to our investor clients we keep a handy investor focused lender cheat sheet categorized by mortgage specialities.

If you can't keep control of your personal finances, you are highly unlikely to succeed in real estate investing.

Maybe there's something I'm not seeing, or maybe I just need to keep looking for something better.

One keeps reaching out and I would appreciate suggestions on declining without issues.

I personally review the lease section by section before they sign it.
