That is complete BS!!! Loan officer is a typical scam scum that is coercing you into purchasing a SFR and not continue to rent. I rent my townhouse and own 6 multi family homes...just saying

I know its tough but stick in there. Read the bigger pockets books when you have a free minute i.e. lunch breaks, toilets breaks, before bed etc. Also, most important study the hell out of the market you want to invest. You can look at properties on internet as a hobby on spare time. Eventually it will click. Dedication to the journey which does not happen over night

I had to fire a property manager last year "aka" terminate contract based on cause. They would lie, cheat and steal. Complete scumbags. Make sure you obtain photos and receipts of everything. Make them sign a contract

Whether you start and LLC now of later down the road after you purchase an investment, you should def do it. All my homes are in an LLC and always will be. This was the advise from my dear mentor that always swore by this. He past away last year handing down a wealth of knowledge to his students and MILLIONS of dollars in assets to his family. I think he knew something

All economic recessions are different though. The last one was accompanied by a housing crisis, which buoyed the rental market in many areas (continues to this day). That may not happen with the next recession.
I am surprised your rental income increased. I can't make sense of that. But it is somewhat reassuring that rental rates can remain isolated from economic downturns.
Rental rates got stronger during the RECESSION because less and less people were not qualified to purchase homes due to STRICT underwriting, thus, creating an over supply of renters = increase in rents

Section 8 is the BEST!!! The only downside is the annual inspection of the unit which is annoying. Some tenants complain, but don't they all.

Section 8 ALL Day Everyday. The Federal Government pays your rent direct deposit every month. Its a no brainer and I love it
