Hi @Raymond Kalonji I would follow what all have said here, but I want to highlight one thing while working with section 8 or any other tenant is very important "timely communication".

If you are not getting the value from and you have clearly communicated your wants and needs then you fire them and interview more. 

No, channeling it through a partnership will not change your tax situation at all.

However, the process was extremely cumbersome, communication was inefficient, and the loan fees were inflated compared to other deals I have seen from fellow investors.We will be ready to begin the refinance stage of our next project in the coming days, as renovation is finishing up and we are screening tenants.

Unfortunately, we get too many calls from clients that got the run around, poor communication and service and/or were the victims of a "bait and switch". 

You want them all to be able to communicate well with you and with each other.

Yes, agree with the above:--good communication with your insurance company--liability insurance-- fencing, signage and safety measures in place

Because you can assume no Section 8 tenant has good credit, my leasing decisions had more to do with meeting each tenant myself to get a gut feeling based on their communicativeness, timeliness to showing, what questions they asked, whether they looked me in the eyes or avoided eye contact, etc.The downside of section 8 was the annual, then bi-annual, inspections. 

Poor or No Communication PlatformsEffective co-living communication platforms are characterized by:1) usability2) accessibility3) commitment of involvementThis can be done through house email lists, whiteboard, group texts, etc.

To maximize the number of transactions you’re involved in you will need to:Be Top of Mind when they think about moving - which requires consistent reminders.Be seen as an Expert – which requires a consistent message and Evidence of Success storiesGain their Trust – which requires communicating integritySo, start out by listing everyone you know in an Excel spreadsheet.
