Keep the expenses in that account so you don't comingle funds which could "pierce the corporate viel" and make your other assets vulnerable in the case of a lawsuit if they share the same bank accounts.

@Jose AguilarWelcome to the community and embracing the vulnerability of putting yourself out there!

@Antonio Daniels 1-there are no different standards for screening...what you will find is that they will likely not meet your earning requirements (like 3x rent)...so you have to make exceptions...they also have very colorful backgrounds for the most part...after screening hundreds of section 8 tenants, definite patterns will appear...if you have a credit score requirement, odds are they will not meet there either (but there are fantastic voucher tenants out there as well...I've rented to nurses and other professionals with a voucher do to having a disabled child that needs a lot of services)...the one thing to be aware of is not treating them differently because they have voucher...2-The inspection depends on local authority, but the standards are the same...this is a federal program...so Housing Quality Standards (HQS) is the guiding document...how an inspector interprets that is another story...https://www.hud.gov/sites/dfil...3-Usually you will only have recertification annually, or possibly at an income change or a request or complaint...4-100%, it's one of the best sources of long-term steady income out there...I'll take a section 8 tenant over a white collar A-class tenant any day...plus you are helping to house the most vulnerable and underserved population out there.The bad things you hear about section 8 are from folks that do not understand the system and how it works, or want to be slumlords and not take care of their properties...or are ill prepared to deal with people in general.

It seems that health risks are slightly less concerning to the overall-healthy individual, but what about the more vulnerable populations (immunocompromised, children, pregnant, elderly, etc), and those who are renting a home for longer term?

Now I am trying to figure out my next move and make heads and tails of how vulnerable landlords are.

Unfortunately the US has a very vulnerable health care system in my opinion.

I know that on 1-4, you can study comps and ARVs and have a fairly good idea, but you're still more vulnerable to market conditions (i think).5 or 6 units could be priced similarly, but if you increase NOI, you should be able to increase the appraised value, thus having better chances of a successful BRRRR.

Similar to certain segments of retail, not all office space is created equal and can therefore be vulnerable to digital disruption.  

Always look at your financial standing and represent yourself truthfully.As a young investor, your risk profile is obviously most vulnerable in the following areas: You don’t have much experience investing in real estate.

@Brie Schmidt thank you for this cautionary tale, bringing awareness and being vulnerable.
