House hacking a duplex is a great way to start scaling your portfolio to more doors.

I'm skeptical. in most markets section 8 only allows one year leases.. and in my experience with 200 plus section 8 doors tenants move every 18 months they trash one house then go find another freshly rehabbed one.. of course each market will be different..

Owning 25 doors, I interview all my tenants, just like a job interview.

My clients with hundreds of doors use data to cull out the lowest performers and give someone else a shot at making them more profitable.

If you have (or will have) multiple entities, I recommend getting a FinCEN ID first, so you’ll only have to upload your driver’s license/passport once.
