Beach, I would also suggest that you schedule an inspector or some sort of third party.

We manage hundreds of our own doors, no third party. 

Additionaly I think about, knowing my own risk profile is certainly essential, but very difficult to determine aspects of the third parties syndicator/dst risk profile, since part of what is built into those type of investments is the capacity for operators to change course in one way or another (yes, with some exceptions in the docs).

I reached out to section 8 multiple times but they won’t increase the payment without a signed lease from both parties. 

But agree third party real estate web sites don't update status changes of a property based on my experience. 

The lease has not yet been signed by either party.

Zillow has a lot of property data, including from third parties against which it might check that data.

In Canada you can also use a 3rd parties RRSP as a "loan" or a mortgage.

Everything will be split 50/50 and both parties agree not to sell until property doubles in value.

UC is in very high demand so vacancy is basically 0, it isn't really a "party school" unlike somewhere like UCLA (weird example I know) so you won't have to deal with those issues as much, depending on how many people live there, who you rent it to (frat/party kids, etc).
