Been thinking about investing in one of these sites, but want to hear which other wholesalers have had more success with and which offers the most benefits versus the cost.

New tenant security scheme that only benefits Suncoast and the tenant - leaves owner paying up at move out. 

It has almost zero benefit to have it to just represent yourself. 

The things that get me are: Liberal politics in the city - this may be a benefit though, since they probably allocate a lot for affordable shelter and the Sec 8 is all but guaranteed. 

Ultimately, I do think S8 requires scale and lots of efficiencies but has its benefits. 

I'm trying to give them the benefit of doubt that he just DIDN'T know.

Yes, they are different asset types, and work differently with different benefits, and drawbacks.

Regarding the payout inefficiencies, I remember the nightmare that some folks were experiencing with state unemployment benefits during Covid.

Aside from basic maintenance which is simple work, but hard and monotonous work, and keeping the asset positioned to fulfill it's highest and best use, there's nothing you have to do past a certain point to benefit from market appreciation.

One of my early properties barely broke even, but after a couple of years, rent hikes and expense optimization turned it into a strong performer.For cash flow benchmarks, I usually aim for $200-$300 per unit, but your situation.. house hacking.. offers unique benefits like reduced living expenses and quicker equity buildup.
