Hi, As a property manager (based in Chicago), I have to say the screening process is paramount, because its the start of your relationship with various prospects.

Many syndicators, including myself, base their projections on a five-year term.

DSCR loans are based off of down payment, credit score and either actual or market rents so it helps to supercharge an investor's real estate goals and net worth.

Based off what you're saying, maybe I should hold off and do elsewhere. 

Quote from @Nick Bednarczyk: Based on a refinance rate of 8.5 %. the numbers do not work to you advantage.

You're gonna need to provide more color here.

Also looking for best practice guidance on the risk tolerance based on these numbers.

A company that I have now is based on marketing, so maybe I can help add value to a partner looking for something like that.

A few things to keep in mind:Section 8 requires the property to pass an inspection based on HUD’s Housing Quality Standards (basically making sure it’s safe and well-maintained).The rent you charge has to align with Fair Market Rents (FMRs) in your area, so it’s good to check what similar properties are renting for.You’ll still be responsible for maintaining the property, but the upside is that a chunk of the rent is guaranteed by the government, which can provide steady income.Check with the local housing authority about any specifics for your area—every jurisdiction does things a little differently.This could be a great niche if you can find a good deal on the land and make sure your expenses (like maintenance, insurance, and occasional vacancies) are covered by the rental income.

@Dennis Boettjer be careful about basing your decision solely on past deal performance.
