I complained but was explained I'm not the "bill to" party, so they don't have to notify me.Nowadays, everything is online, so all I have to do is log into my account, download the online bills and forward a copy to my tenant via email or by smart phone, all done in a minute.

It's not unusual to see 3/1 and 4/1 Section 8 properties but that single bathroom would not do well as an MTR.Overall, I'd say location and the shape of the property is going to be your key driver and the factors that will make or break you in the MTR space so very carefully evaluate both before you make your decision. 

For example, I know of a deal in Reno, NV where all the records were still on paper, and the owners didn’t even know the rents people were paying.When I’m evaluating multifamily properties for clients around the Reno area, I calculate current, market, and proforma rents.

@Jaekwan LeeThe rent-to-price ratio and expense ratio are critical factors in property evaluation.

@Connor McGinnisConsider evaluating the pro forma rents from two perspectives -determine the maximum amount you can increase the rents without making any renovations and then figure out how much more you can raise them with renovations.

I am not sure how much this course was or when you purchased it, but I would evaluate your fact pattern in light of the above and self-assess or discuss with a tax professional as needed.        

But no commentary or a way to rank or evaluate. 

But you will have to evaluate them from a landlord perspective going forward.  

To start, research local markets, evaluate properties, and understand financing options.Good luck!

However, I'm not quite sure how to evaluate a home as an investment since the up front costs are so much higher and the mortgage terms are so different.
