    Agree to many of the things he says except section 8 pays higher. I'm in Cali and have 9 section 8 rental units. They literally say they will never pay more than comparable rentals and ask for 1-3 comps at each renewal

    • @queentba721
      @queentba721 ปีที่แล้ว

      Sorry. But it’s true… they are currently offering more than comp for section 8 and incentives of 7500 or more. There are two types of section 8. Contact your local housing authority and ask about landlord incentives

    If section 8 is cheap to invest in why don’t people just buy as many as they can. $2500 to $5000 down per property. Rarely no credit needed. Why doesn’t EVERYONE BUY SECTION 8? 😂
