My brother and I bought 11 SFR at that point, so I did have my 5.5 and thought I was done.Then, while bored during Coronavirus, I came across biggerpockets and was convinced that it was a great time to refinance and buy as much as possible. 

The process usually goes like this:Rental Listing -> Landlord and Prospective Tenant fill out and submit RTA -> Voucher office performs Affordability Study -> Landlord approves estimated rent amount -> Property Inspection -> Approval of Property by Voucher Office -> Lease & Move-InThe section 8 process in/around Baltimore and Baltimore County does take a long time these days.

Below are some key metrics and the proforma I have compiled from a feasibility study and an STR report.

It was a ridiculous amount of time and really had no basis in factual studies.

The most important rule is to get to know the sub-market you're buying in and the property type and study what they are running on.

But it does not get boring.. thats for sure..

They don't provide tax documents on time, which cause significant headaches. they don't provide proof of cost mitigation studies unless you threaten to sue.I am a seasoned investor and I got duped in their flowery talk.

@Yu Xiao, using that property as a short term rental during the time you own it will open up some additional tax saving potential as will doing a cost segregation study to take advantage of some accelerated depreciation.
