You should find out what percentage of the rent is being paid by S8 and by the tenant.Tenants have to sign the rent increase and some won't because they don't want their payment portion increasing.It's also highly unlikely a S8 office will approve the huge increase from $797 to $1300.- BTW: the $1300 includes all utilities being paid by the landlord.

Did you work with any real estate professionals (agents, lenders, etc.) that you'd recommend to others?

Quote from @Catherine Ding: My PM company is offering to do it for a high fee of $100/month so I'm trying to find alternative options.

On the flip side, the margins aren’t quite as high as with rehab projects.

There were weekly group video phone calls that despite usually only having 5-10 people online I could never get a question answered leaving me to believe they were pre recorded.

Is your income considered variable in nature depending on job sites and that you do not work a set amount of hours per week?

But I highly recommend reading "Who Not How".

But there are also a lot of reviews online calling this place a scam.

It's the same thing when you put your info on sites like Zillow, or Redfin looking for a home.You are only going to get the realtors or lenders who are signed up with the website.

Financing might be a challenge.I would recommend consulting with a attorney, loan officer, and CPA to discuss your specific situation and determine the best course of action.
