All my rentals here in he Bay Area have Section 8 tenants and half my units in Cleveland do and I sleep real well at night knowing those checks are coming in for the full rental amount, even if a tenant is furloughed or loses their job.  

However selling them would trigger larger capital gains tax and lose the benefits of passive income.

I know condos downtown will definitely lose money every month because the cost of ownership exceeds rent amounts but I also realize supply is low and the prices are likely to climb regardless.That, or a 2 unit rental property in Durham region somewhere that might break even in monthly carrying costs?

I didn't want to worry about a tenant being careless with their use of utilities and run up a bill that I had to cover.

It turns out everyone who was losing their house didn’t want to move their family in to an apartment.

I see many self-managing Landlords that are losing money every month by renting way below market, and the only reason they survive is they get lucky with a good tenant that stays for 10-15 years.

These are my most vulnerable tenants.If I do not raise rent on my 2 rent controls I lose it forever as any future increases are built on a percentage of the prior years rent.

That's losing $800+ every month.

If you don't pay up, you lose all access to all your Wink enabled products.

You apply for a commercial loan, and get a commercial insurance policy.however you would lose all the benefits afforded to owner occupants like the capital gains exclusion in doing so.
