Then there are the challenges with Section 8 tenants paying utilities and taking care of their rental property.

Death by thousand cuts….Could you shed some more light on your experience with REI Nation?

Didn't get an home inspection because the lender stated they'd take care of the inspections.

I would be very careful about what neighborhoods you invest in, though; Cleveland has some serious war zones. 

@John Kim @Travis Biziorek is 100% correct.S8 really isn't difficult, but it's not the answer to everything that the self-proclaimed "gurus" make it out to be.With S8 tenants, you're just trading one set of challenges versus direct paying tenants.When we advertise a rental, we take the best tenant we can find, immaterial of their source of rental funds.You want to be careful investing in the City of Detroit because there are a lot of "crooks" trying to sell you Class D properties dressed up to look like Class C or B.Connect with us or Travis for more info!

I care about collections, not just bodies in the building.

I had a whole Analysis typed out but my wifi cut out so I've retyped a summed up version.

Applicant credit scores should be treated with a high level of care and should not be handed out when they aren't assured that you are locking them up and taking due care with private and sensitive data.So, many places, including the screening company we used for years before moving to a PM, provide a suitability score rather than the actual credit score. 

We built it out of necessity and started same way as everyone, cut our teeth on bad decisions.

The jury is out on summer, but we are already cutting rates significantly to get bookings for our properties.We are currently trending toward 2019-ish rents for most of our properties.
