I am willing to be dollars to donuts that most of your Section 8 tenants are able-bodied humans intelligent enough to get a job and pay their way through life, but they somehow manage to milk the system.

I see the value in not being overwhelmed because of a failure to properly build a situation with systems and organization.

Then, before buying anything else, make a list of all the learnings you got from this experience, and then list the systems and policies you'll put in place to ensure you never do this again!

Develop a system and checklist.  

Couple of things I looked out for:- Area, make sure it's somewhere that will have stable demand- I stayed away from homes that had a lot of renovations that were needed- During the tour see if you can spot basic issues like if wiring is old or how new is the HVAC system, etc. - If you decide to keep the tenants that are already there see how well they keep the place

These include the expansion of the VIA Metropolitan Transit system, enhancements to the city's fiber optic network, and the development of smart city initiatives.

The first one (about a year ago) was not productive at all for me but honestly some of that is my fault because I just didn't have a great follow up system in place.

A prospective tenant may schedule a showing time through our system after being verified.Our system will automatically send a lockbox code to that prospective tenant that's only valid for the scheduled showing time they signed up for and will change after that scheduled period ends.

@Walker Hinshaw We haven't rented to a sober living company but we did rent to 4 roommates who, at the time, claimed to be setting up their own sober living house as a support system for each other.

We added a mini split system, new floors throughout, rebuilt the deck, added windows, repaired waste lines, roof, siding, stucco, cleaned up the basement and remodeled the kitchen and bathrooms.
