This has given me the boost I need to kick start my real estate business. 

You are very correct that anonymity doesn't stop someone from suing you, and I totally appreciate the "I don't give a ... mentality. 

Be cordial and have the mentality that you are wanting to be helpful.

I expect the children didn't attend school, the signs were there, but in America we don't have a good system for keeping people with mental health struggles on track.

Also given these inaccuracies, I'm skeptical even the section 8 figures are authentic.She sells a $2K 4-week real estate investing mentorship program, which must be getting a nice boost in students from all the podcast viewers.

By the time we got there, rates had boosted. 

With the skill set and right mentality, I do think value add opportunities are out there whether it be in Albany or Troy.

Andrew sir, I'd have to say it's just not worth the few hundred dollars a month you may benefit from renting out another room - morally, legally and mentally should something go wrong. 

@Brian Geiger my portfolio is a mix of market rate and Section 8 units - if you are open to working with the program you can really boost your cash flow.
