I am wanting to build passive income How did you finance this deal?

I recommend you take some courses on underwriting that are geared towards passive investors.

What kind of savings do you guys have in addition to the income savings each month? 

We invest in Greene County, Ohio and currently have 24 low income units. 

Our instincts are to eventually rent it and use the income for payment assistance on a new home mortgage.

Quote from @Diyan Yap: Have you thought about AirBnB, they can visit/stay with you while they rent it and earn income. 

I don't know about you but I am constantly on the hunt for consistency, consistency of income, of deals, of productivity, in my relationships...so that's my focus in all things not just real estate.So my vision to your question is a a state of total consistency of income and deals.I'm focused on the basics, which to drive me is even more specifically "making offers."  

But it’s not passive—it’s work.

The program is designed to assist low-income families, and these benchmarks might exclude a lot of qualified people.That said, the requirement for stable rental and work history is reasonable, but you might consider relaxing the credit score or income requirements since Section 8 guarantees a portion of the rent.

If the property manager uses a payment app integrated with the property management software to collect rent for the landlord, this is not gross income for the property manager.
