No problem with down payment but will need conventional load which is not a problem as I have been pre approved many times just did not find right property.

Quote from @Michael Smythe: Besides MANY self-labeled "gurus" exaggerating their success, many of them just supply readily available info.If you're too busy to find the info and are willing to pay for it, no problem as you accept their time vs money solution.REGARDING S8 GURU ISSUES SPECIFICALLYMost of them don't share all the facts about how Section 8 actually works.They claim you can get HIGHER rent from S8 tenants vs private-paying tenants.Why would the government allow our tax dollars to be spent this way?

I visited twice wasn't able to reproduce it and also had an HVAC technician take a look, as well, and he wasn't able to reproduce it, but my guess is that there really is a problem, as they swear up and down that it gets bad sometimes and I see no reason for them to make it up. 

As someone who has built from ground up  IE bought the land put in the UTLS and built the homes ( Close to 500 in the last 10 years in multiple states) The affordability issue is as much a location problem as anything.

That is an employer problem, a problem for those who want to continue operations in that specific locked geo-location BUT who don't want to absorb the fair market cost of labor. 

No problem.

I think that the vast majority are sincere in that they desire independence, wealth accumulation, status and are willing to work for it.The problem as I see it is that almost all these individuals lack education and experience in business, so they tend to be easily misled by the hucksters, promoters, and braggarts pushing the narrative of no experience, education or money needed for success in these endeavors.

This would have meant even more gasoline on the affordability problem.

The government makes it your problem as a landlord and you can't contract the responsibility over to the tenant.4.

Property taxes have been a problem as well in Orleans Parish, but I'm sure you know why that is.
