I am a property owner myself and now the proud founder of RentWiseLA, a company dedicated to helping property owners navigate the complexities of the Section 8 program, especially when it comes to lease-ups and rent increases.Having spent years in the trenches, helping owners fill their vacant units with Section 8 families, I’ve always taken pride in educating property owners about the ins and outs of Section 8.

I'm on Lane Kawaoka's e-mail list and I always think about striking out for something, but wondering if its worth it or if it can turn into a house of cards...It depends on the opportunity, the syndicator, the total amount of money involved, the amount you want to invest, how long you want to invest it for, the location of the apartment complex, the number of units involved, what your goals are.

Look at the data from multifamily starts for this year: 2024 YTD shows 193,000 more units COMPLETED compared to those STARTED. 

The closest approximation is from MLS data with the same beds and baths and in the same type of house (single, multi, apartment).

Would you consider coming to the Worcester two meet up this Wednesday 630-930pm at the cove apartment complex?

Additionally, the Courthouse Online platform is a helpful tool for property assessment data, including ownership and sale history; you’ll just need your property’s Control Number to get started.The Property Mapper is great for visuals, but it sometimes lags with the latest updates, so checking with the Recorder of Deeds or using Courthouse Online will give you the most accurate information.

Is it recommended to start with a SFH or is it manageable to begin with a Multi unit home or complex? 

But I am thinking of selling in 2025, and would then want to 1031 into an apartment complex.

Further, the writers conclusions are usually “a stretch” based on the data we have. 4.

I'm looking at a multi-cabin STR deal that pencils out well from % a return perspective, but would involve an annoying amount of complexity managing guests when I consider the actual return in dollars I would be receiving.
