We have a pretty rural place and Idaho has some of the most strict laws around marijuana use so that hasn't been an issue for us.Smoking in general has been a problem a couple of times.

Don't just tell them to rectify the problem as above.

Landlord’s only option to collect funds for damages is to take tenants to court.More and more tenants are only having a portion of their rent covered by S8, so landlords need to still screen S8 applicants for portion they must pay.Landlord cannot charge S8 tenants a portion of shared utilities – which can lead to the infamous tales of tenant retaliation against landlord by blasting heat on high with open windows during winter.S8 caseworker response times can be very slow, as they are usually overworked & underpaid.Again, overall it’s a pretty good deal for a landlord that does some decent screening.Exposing Section 8 Housing | Tenants From hell 243 - YouTubeLiberals Blame this Eviction on Landlord Despite the Before & After Footage | Tenants From Hell 241 - YouTubeMy first Baltimore buy & hold investment - SOLD (Lessons learned) (biggerpockets.com)Besides MANY self-labeled "gurus" exaggerating their success, many of them just supply readily available info.If you're too busy to find the info and are willing to pay for it, no problem as you accept their time vs money solution.REGARDING S8 GURU ISSUES SPECIFICALLYMost of them don't share all the facts about how Section 8 actually works.They claim you can get HIGHER rent from S8 tenants vs private-paying tenants.Why would the government allow our tax dollars to be spent this way?

I've had this problem as well. 

If tax pro is going against the regulations, isn't that a problem as well? 

Hi @Brian Spear, I seem to be having the same problem as @Sophie?  

Buying from a wholesaler with only two properties under your belt could be a real problem as their ARV is always too high and repair costs too low, depending on how much you know to date.

You can partner with an operator or hire a mentor to help you.Either way sounds like you have a good problem as most people struggle with raising capital so your already ahead of the game.

Quote from @Devin James: That's the problem. A

I have even encountered wholesalers who push properties with title issues onto buyers that are not knowledgeable enough to understand that this issue could be a very serious problem. A
