For those of you who’ve chosen the fund route.

Try COGO funding, as this is their funding...go straight to them maybe?

How much can I raise the rent?""

I also pressure washed the exterior of the units and raised rents to market rent.

However, there’s a catch—I’m looking to partner with an investor to help provide the capital needed to complete the deal (would need to raise around $200,000-500,000).

First question: how much cash do you have to invest, and is this separate from your emergency funds? 

Truthfully horrified that this is an individual who wants to raise capital from others "to scale" after owning section 8 rentals for 2 years.

@Jaycee Greene I wouldn't have the funds for the down payment. 

Here's the problem: They are not a sustainable asset for most to own; they are difficult and costly assets to exit through a sale; if you achieve favorable refinances, you may be able to use those funds to buy other (hopefully better assets) but are now faced with operating highly leveraged bad assets.
