@Anthony Roberts per our knowledge, Toledo has a lot of Class C properties/tenants.So, most of your applicants/tenants will have FICO scores under 620, many even under 560.For this Class of properties/tenants, we only look at the background check for violence-related convictions, evictions and utility collections (can they get utilities in their name?).

If you find a new tenant, prorate any fees they pay you so you are not collecting 2 rents on the same day. 

Generally speaking, we would encourage you to screen your tenants - whether they are section 8 or not.We would encourage you to collect a deposit - whether they are section 8 or not.A tenant can certainly be a "good" tenant or a "bad" tenant - whether they are section 8 or not.Now, if you are targeting lower valued homes...there are "pros" and "cons" to doing that - whether you are renting to section 8 or not.  

I would consider looking for a 2-4 unit so you can at least occupy (1) unit and collect rent on the other unit(s) and at the 6 month mark evaluate your LTV and situation.

You can also collect rent inside of these, direct from their bank account.

My quick math is if I'm collecting $75 more per booking at a conservative 40 bookings per year that's $3000 in extra revenue. 

His reply was that he sold the units, not the right to collect the interest.

I am currently looking at opportunities to enter into the MH/Month-stay RV park space, and am wondering if there are recommendations for rent collection software that is specifically tailored? 

I will essentially be managing the entire property/collecting rent and my friend will not have to lift a finger. 

Hospitable will calculate and collect taxes for you.
