You Get Team ExperienceIf you’re taking part in a deal, that means other people are, too—whether it’s partners, syndicators, or investors.🏗️ Being part of a real estate team is one of the most valuable skills you can develop.

That would absolutely be scoffed at by most people. 

This was probably a result of the busy November for new contracts.

I know it may sound common sense, but people do struggle with understanding that water follows gravity.

Some general pros v cons - I'm sure other people will provide other insights as wellPros: -Above market rents- Monthly rent payment on time that you don't have to worry about or chase anyone down for (if full pay)- No shortage of tenants depending on your standards - Tenants are incentivized to not trash/destroy the unit, otherwise they'll lose their voucher (Yearly inspections made by local S8 inspectors to keep everyone honest- Rental payouts are normally adjusted 1-2 times a year to keep up with market rentsCons:- May take a little while to get onboarded - dealing with local govt can always take longer than expected   - Generally won't have a super high credit score (to be expected given it's the govt paying for rent)- Each unit will need to be inspected and meet a certain living standard in order to be approved for fundingYou'll want to make sure you work with a property manager who has extensive experience in working with S8. 

I went back to Memphis last year for the first time in six years to find all is as advertised with very minor exceptions.We have picture inspections done every four months, cost $75, because I'm a trust but verify guy.Good people, good service.   

I take a picture of their driver's license.I ask for phone numbers that accept texts and any alternate land or business phone numbers.I ask for the names and birth dates of anyone under 18, and ask if there are any service / emotional support animals, together with their names and breeds.I also ask for personal references, previous landlord contact info (and length of time there), employer contact info (and how long there, together with earnings), as well as the name and contact information for their manager / boss.

Yes Joel, That would be a business purpose DSCR loan.

I'm reaching deep into my psychic thoughts… I see it… A majority of people who respond to this post will be real estate brokers… I can see it!

Knowing the rent will likely show up each month—even if the tenant has challenges—removes a lot of the uncertainty that can come with rentals.The people listing this apartment as a “Section 8 property” are likely trying to target buyers who value that stability.
