I'm a big fan of value-add opportunities, whether it's buying something currently undervalued & fixing it up to my standards, or buying something that has additional income opportunities that have yet to be incorporated. 

Fortunately I have all the standard contingencies.I also question what is a fair price for insurance.  

All fees seemed right in line with industry standard, ($9.95/mo, per entity + one-time registration fees). 

Some of your requests may fall outside this manager’s standard practices, and customizing services for each client isn’t practical for most PMs.

And if it's a high amount, would you be better off just using that as a downpayment and get a standard new investment loan?

I am happy with them, I think they bring up value to investors, still I believe many of their deals don't meet my standards ( do your own diligence and run your numbers!). 

Once these type investments develop a history, I can see a market similar to peer to peer lending where default rates become standardized and known.  

To invest in Section 8 housing, look at areas such as Cleveland, Columbus, Cincinnati, and Dayton, choose safe neighborhoods, study Section 8 standards, analyze property types, and explore financing choices.

It took new construction costs from $800-2500 down to $325 / SF and instead of 2 years it can be done in 8-12 months (design, permits, fabrication, shipping, and erection) depending on how much homeowners customized the standard plans. 

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Recommend you first figure out the property Class you want to invest in, THEN figure out the corresponding location to invest in.Property Class will typically dictate the Class of tenant you get, which greatly IMPACTS rental income stability and property maintenance/damage by tenants.If you apply Class A assumptions to a Class B or C purchase, your expectations won’t be met and it may be a financial disaster.If you buy/renovate a property in Class D area to Class A standards, what quality of tenant will you get?
