Remember, successful asset management is the difference-maker in real estate investing.Two properties could look identical, but how they are managed is the real game-changer

@Seth Williams I work in the group home industry.

I've been doing a moderate level of research around the housing industry and I am very excited and eager to jump in.

More than happy to connect and strategize game plans any time.

Business is valuable and this has not been a great year for the property management industry.

Although I don't have much experience in this field yet, I am passionate about real estate and hope to continuously learn and grow in this industry.

Try again in 2026.It's a long game.

See the chart from Fair Isaac Company (FICO) below: FICO Score Pct of Population Default Probability 800 or more 13.00% 1.00% 750-799 27.00% 1.00% 700-749 18.00% 4.40% 650-699 15.00% 8.90% 600-649 12.00% 15.80% 550-599 8.00% 22.50% 500-549 5.00% 28.40% Less than 499 2.00% 41.00% Source: Fair Isaac CompanyAccording to this chart, investors should use corresponding vacancy+tenant-nonperformance factors of approximately 5% for Class A rentals, 10% for Class B and 20% for Class C.To address Class C payment challenges, many industry "experts" are now selling programs to newbie investors about how Section 8 tenants are the cure.

Collections are where the game is won or lost, and without proactive management, even the prettiest property can bleed money.
