@Scott Rankin yeah they are expecting a major turnout.

You need to not necessarily follow a book to a T, but just basic principles.

Also, I'm not sure if you are demoing an existing structure, if the structure is freestanding, etc, but this will obviously greatly affect your overall budget.For our project, most of the material prices are in line with expectations, but where we've been shocked with recent increases is the soft cost. 

Obviously don't buy a deal that will put you in the hole every month but don't expect that you are going to be good on $300/mo. in cash flow either.

A good PM will be realistic on what to expect from Section 8 and help you identify properties/neighborhoods that will support your goal.

I'm not sure what else to expect.

I literally don't expect to speak to my tenants more than once a quarter. 

TurboTenant only provides eSign with the Premium version but it meets t$12.42/mo.

You can still reasonably expect to find financing for those asset types.
