Changes to local landlord/tenant laws and new situations involving tenants lead to these annual updates.

As a powerful organization, I would like to see Bigger Pockets become a leader in not simply educating real estate investors but leading the way in warning investors about the real estate guru pitfalls.  

Collecting rent statements, expense receipts, mortgage interest docs, and more—can sometimes feel like a full-time job in the weeks leading up to tax day.

It would definitely be fraud if this was the case, a recent post from an auctioneer talked about this exact situation, where they said the auctioneer was liable (different bedrooms/type of home example you don't have to read it) States would differ though and it doesn't seem black and white. https://mikebrandlyauctioneer.wordpress.com/2022/07/12/no-li...I do agree with you that it could very well lead to being burnt, however.

Organizational Delays: Section 8 offices are often overworked and understaffed, leading to slow processing times for new tenants, delayed rent increase approvals, and poor responsiveness.Benefits of Section 8:1.Long-Term Tenants: When you get a good tenant, they usually stay for a long time because of the tedious process required to qualify for Section 8 housing.2.Consistent Income: If Section 8 covers most or all of the rent, you typically receive reliable monthly payments, reducing the risk of non-payment (as long as there isn’t a large tenant portion).3.Lower Barrier to Entry: Because properties in these areas are often more affordable, it’s a good way for new investors to break into real estate without needing a large amount of capital.Overall, I’ve seen the good and the bad of this strategy.

Some areas have higher crime rates and lower tenant quality, which can lead to more management headaches and higher vacancy rates.

I've only ever sent out an offer like that once, and that was to a preforeclosure lead that refused to discuss the property, instead telling me "that's not how real estate works, just make me an offer".  

Not only can they handle risk management, but they also excel in marketing, optimizing the guest experience (leading to positive reviews and referrals), and leveraging technology such as booking platforms and pricing tools.

It is normally the real estate that attracts the nuisance tenants which leads some to resort to section 8 believing its a cure all which is the furthest from reality.  

It's like the blind leading the blind...for a hefty price of course.
