@John Kim @Travis Biziorek is 100% correct.S8 really isn't difficult, but it's not the answer to everything that the self-proclaimed "gurus" make it out to be.With S8 tenants, you're just trading one set of challenges versus direct paying tenants.When we advertise a rental, we take the best tenant we can find, immaterial of their source of rental funds.You want to be careful investing in the City of Detroit because there are a lot of "crooks" trying to sell you Class D properties dressed up to look like Class C or B.Connect with us or Travis for more info!

With the increase in prices and competition over the last few years, these figures were so divorced from reality that these people now typically advertise 8% to 10% at the most, which, unsurprisingly, is still higher than reality.

I'll give an over-arching view since I am only answering for my own company and don't want to use this as advertising. 

I am just really frustrated that they advertise this insurance that they refuse to pay out. 

I have advertised through Hemlane, ZIllow and also MLS. 

I recommend being anonymous.In some cases if you have a PM, let them advertise it as their own.If you have an llc then the lease and payments go to that.While I do introduce myself to tenants, I don't advertise I'm the owner publicly.

We don't allow any "deal-making" in the forums, which includes advertising your services or properties, looking for partners, etc.

They tell you you’re asking too much rent (you lower rent, avoid vacancy and make more money) ,your marketing is bad (they take new pictures, advertise in different places, change wording, whatever, and get a tenant saving vacancy.)  

Scenario 1 they don’t or refuse to move- eviction costs and/or lost rent Scenario 2 they move out and Cap ex and turnover costs, lost rent, advertising for new tenants in a somewhat of a qualified tenant shortage, headaches can be avoided by simply having a conversation with the tenant to see where their head is at, and that they understand what your expectations are.

My markup is always lower than the original lender's because I don't spend money advertising during the Super Bowl, my president doesn't have a corporate jet, and we don't have layers of management we need to pay.
