Is it Leasing, Property Management, Vendor Management, Operations, Finance, Accounting... 

Think of yourself of an asset manager, not a maintenance provider or lease-up specialist (but do those well too).3.

I realized this again when we had a traveler cancel her lease about a week before moving in.

Congrats - have you completed the deal yet (4 leases in place, STRS up and running)? 

. - The condo is currently leased through April 30, 2025. - August 2025 will be 3 years since I moved out.

Research market rents, carefully calculate expenses, and ensure you have a solid lease agreement.

Live in one side and renovate that side, then after the lease for the other unit is up move into that one and renovate it.

Is it overkill as I would not be dealing with leases, work orders, etc?

I don't know your area, so I can only write to my experiences in PA.You don't really convert your property to Section 8 (S8), but rather sign a lease with a tenant who happens to be funded by S8.

This includes preparing the property for renters, pricing it right, marketing, application screening, collecting rent, dealing with unpaid rent and other lease violations, security deposit disposition, inspections, and so much more.
