So even if I lose the ability to generate income from the cash value that is securing the loans to pay the taxes, the remaining cash value will still generate more retirement income.

The beauty of Facebook is the ability to screen the tenants beforehand .

I would also have the ability to take that cash and do something much larger in my new city such as a MF quad.  

Q: I'm concerned at my ability currently to line up all the resources/people needed to do a thorough due diligence during the typical 30 day window.

Being clear in the ad with these criteria, which aren't solely unique to any demographic, weeds out bad applicants from general population AND gives you the ability to deny a Section 8 tenant you wouldn't want based on their credit score or prior evictions (not source of income). 

Ultimately I found my deal by chance through Zillow so I have not tired the marketing and SEO strategies yet.

Potential for cash flow on a nearly turnkey property and the ability to bring another investor into the fold to finally get their toes wet with REI!

I know I’m getting the newbie platform SEO boost, but still - Superhost is easily achievable at the first review period if you make a fairly average effort, and it’s not actually that hard to separate yourself from the pack on Airbnb if you just do everything you need to be doing to run a good businessGood luck hunting to everyone!

If it is going to affect your ability to rent and it will need to be changed after the first tenant, do it now. 

There is a theory that has been considered by lawmaker the last few years that theorizes that putting in an offer on a property, without the INTENT or ABILITY to close on said property, is fraud.
