It is also a higher quality contact because you can confirm if you're actually reaching the owner.Mailers take up less of your time (aside from ordering and distributing), cost more, and are more challenging to track.I'd start with calling then add on mailers.Best times may vary but we find that we get the most people on the phone 8am-noon and 3-7pm.

Down payment can be higher than primary, but the good thing is that you won't need that much income to qualify because lenders can you 75% of the market rents for the units of the property.

IMO there are just better markets that require a much lower investment for a higher CoC return.Hope this helps!

.- Getting tenants to agree to rent increases and turning in all the required paperwork to caseworker, then, you guessed it, chasing them to process it- Dealing with the tenant's "entitlement attitude" that they don't have to follow the terms of the lease, so they move in other individuals and/or get pets without permission.So, a good PMC will charge something more to manage a S8 tenant/property - either a higher percentage or a one-time or annual fee.

Purchase price: $100,000 Cash invested: $1,000 Sale price: $115,000 My partner and I found this property on Zillow listed much higher than the value.

Or are you ok with looking at the replacement property, and if it's higher value and appears to likely have more value in both 1245 and 1250 property, do you figure there is reasonable basis to assume there isn't any recapture? 

Higher end firms do that for liability purposes and to help eliminate construction conflicts because trades do not talk to each other.

Now, that said, if you can add a bedroom within the existing floor plan or a basement bathroom those are usually very good for higher ARV, rents and refi.
