The law does NOT apply to landlords:With less then 5 rental unitsThat live in one unit of a duplex and rent out the other unitThat rent out rooms in the home they occupySo, landlords can no longer state in their rental ads, "Section 8 not accepted".The reverse is also true, "Section 8 only", cannot be used.We've always recommended screening S8 tenants the same way as cash-paying tenants.Landlords waiving application fees and/or security deposits only for S8 prospects may also be violating Fair Housing.

@Daniel Cacho I’m 35 years old, have been in the game for over a decade, own 26 doors, run a property management company with 350+ units, and operate a realty brokerage with a small team of agents.

The pro development and affordable housing advocates use the term NIMBY, but I suspect it is the rare person that buys in a single family zoned area that would be thrilled to have 17 units (qp16 additional units added) in the lot next to them.My initial protege was the land source on this effort.  

So yet, there are a lot of fresh units just hitting the market this year and new ones that will hit soon adding to the competition. 

All I know is that, as CEO of this company, it was really hard watching influencers and 20-somethings race past me, buying dozens or hundreds of units from 2019-2022.

It is perfect for a portfolio size of 5-15 units. 

@Jim Stanley Say No to DIY on SDIRA owned units.  

Depends on what your goals are. 1-4 units are still residential, so it doesn't really matter how you start.

If you do need the extra bed, then refurbishing the existing unit might be the best compromise.If you want to go a different route to have the review removed.

Rents are high in this town and I think folks just don't sell their multi-family units very often.
