Landlords have limited ability to raise rents, and the market standard is that rents drop. 

I'm not showing up with a standard set of interview questions to ask them or anything of the sort.

@Jemini LeckieRecommend you first figure out the property Class you want to invest in, THEN figure out the corresponding location to invest in.Property Class will typically dictate the Class of tenant you get, which greatly IMPACTS rental income stability and property maintenance/damage by tenants.If you apply Class A assumptions to a Class B or C purchase, your expectations won’t be met and it may be a financial disaster.If you buy/renovate a property in Class D area to Class A standards, what quality of tenant will you get?

I guess to get a definite answer I'll have to cold call to get see if all these people are behind on their payment or it's just a standard practice behind some salesmen!

Once she receives a voucher, you’ll need to register as a Section 8 landlord and have the property inspected to meet HUD standards, which can take 30–60 days.If you want to move forward with rehab quickly, a cash-for-keys arrangement might be faster.

It’s standard practice and an essential safeguard for landlords.Trust your instincts and treat this as a non-negotiable policy.

The property will need to have a slight rehab to get it up to STR standards, but when complete it should easily be a $200k Gross booking revenue property.

The key is to standardize property quality and management systems, which would appeal to buyers seeking scale.If you’re thinking long-term, holding these properties for cash flow while leveraging local appreciation is also a strong play.

@Connor O'Brien CHA does release payment standards that can be found on their website but those are maximums, not guaranteed.
