We would like to purchase a second home that has space to Airbnb.Or, should we sell our current home and pay cash for a new home (less than $500,000) and use the remaining cash as a down payment on a second home that produces rental income?

@Wilmari Tejeda  Look beyond the financial performance...check crime stats, graffiti nearby, homelessness, jobs, rental competition, etc.

The pay is so low it almost doesn't make a difference and it's not as if I'll become homeless or go hungry.

Street parking was a mess then add in a few homeless idiots and it was a challenge that one.

I knew which properties ranked #1 vs #15 in my criteria, and more importantly, I knew why — something my agent's auto-drip emails could never tell me.The Discovery That Changed EverythingWhile doing deep analysis on one of my top candidates — a duplex on the Near Eastside — my AI workflow flagged something I'd never heard anyone mention:The Indianapolis Housing Agency (IHA), which administers approximately 9,000 Section 8 vouchers in Marion County, has been in crisis.Here's what I found through public records and local investigative reporting:In 2024, IHA experienced a cybersecurity breach that disrupted payment systemsHUD took over the agency in April 2024 due to what they described as "longstanding issues"Multiple landlords reported months of delayed or incorrect HAP (Housing Assistance Payment) paymentsIHA paused all rent increase requests, with some landlords unable to get increases processedLocal reporting documented tenants being evicted because IHA failed to pay their landlords — the very agency meant to prevent homelessness was contributing to itThis is not a minor operational hiccup.

The criminals here a thick along with aggressive homeless meth heads!
