Wanted to revive this post and check to see if anyone else has additional information or input on rental in Cahokia, IL / Cahokia Heights, IL . . .

That said, check CHA’s payment standards for your unit size and area to see how they align with your target rent.

Absolutely agree with that number needs to check for an investment.

STR and Oceanside may have some restrictions last I checked, I would look deeper into that.

(Unfortunately, the investor fell for this gimmick and did NOT get their own 3rd party inspections, appraisals or even visit the properties they were buying, against our best efforts to encourage proper due diligence and follow our check list for their own protection.)So now some people are stuck with properties worth half what they paid (not all RWN members), with no renovation done, and constant repairs and vacancies. 

Do you have someone that manages it all including bookings and customer service or just specific parts like cleaning only? 

I check the SEC, FINRA, ratings websites for inside information on the principals in the company.

You can also check their reviews online at Google, Facebook, or Yelp.

Section 8 can be very profitable if done the right way, at scale, by an experienced operator, but I think it's one of the hardest strategies to start doing because of tenancies and government involvement.Most new people just think it's an easy government check and there is nothing that could be further from the truth.

I am a beginner in this and I would like what basics questions should I check before getting into this business.
