Paul has started at least 3 separate threads in the past few days announcing to the world the success he's having with section 8 rentals and repeatedly reminds us he doesn't have a clue how to calculate the true operational costs associated with these properties. 

If you bought the certificate from the state for the full amount quoted to you, you must contact the state and get the calculations of how they arrived at that number.

Or you can try James' approach to sell before the significant cap ex items but I suspect you will be selling at a price that reflects the impending coming costs.It is my belief that you have never calculated out your sustained maintenance/cap ex costs and truly believe this has positive cash flow.I am trying to provide some insight as to your view and to your situation. 

The calculation anticipates the fact that not not all who work for the government own a property and not all who lose their job sell their house. 

BiggerPockets also has a calculator to analyze deals, and I highly recommend you start this as soon as possible, even if you are not ready to buy.

You can use TurboTax to handle these calculations, but if you’re unsure about expense allocation or depreciation, consulting a CPA can help maximize deductions and ensure accuracy.

This also depends on how are you calculate cash flow and what you're using to discount for expenses.

That calculation also assumed $0 renovation and $0 furnishings, which won't be the case.
