Keep your emails to all applicants showing that you communicated the same criteria to everyone up to a certain date and then changed it after a specific date.

After joining BiggerPockets Pro and making use of all the tools available, I've decided that Buy and Hold will be my main strategy, specifically with small multi-family homes to start.  

The sophisticated money is not buying in stagnant markets with poor fundamentals because they can achieve the 1% rule, can complete a BRRRR or because of more favorable landlord tenant laws exist just to highlight what’s rarely part of their acquisition criteria which is a stark contrast to the mindset of most within the BiggerPockets community.Since your focus is specifically on landlord tenant law component I’ll add those who follow the law, properly maintain their property, respond timely to tenant requests, use well drafted and fair leases and don’t unreasonably withhold deposits  find themselves in far less tenant controversies. 

Something more personally catered to your specific goals and circumstances?

Here are a couple of SEC 8 specific criteria...1) If their court records or pay stubs show any record of garnishments, be careful because SEC 8 ignore garnishments and the applicant will have trouble paying their portion, just like any other tenant would.2) If you see an outstanding landlord judgment, call the caseworker to ask when the tenant first was accepted into the program.  

So, for example if a tenant was giving you a specific type of issue that was not clearly covered in the rental agreement you simply add it with 30 days notice and then evict for breaching the agreement.

To make things more concrete, it helps to get specific.

Im just unsure what to do with it specifically.

I appreciate the specific information regarding what tenants pay and how you managed the properties.

Please feel free to connect with me if you have any specific questions.
