I'm going to take your comments about the communication to heart. 

We communicate almost everyday.

You will often see this with their scheduling, communication, and even finances (asking to be paid ahead of schedule).

Quote from @Roni Williams: Their communication is non existent.

What is a good system to create around standardizing rent increases where applicable / best way to communicate it to the tenants? 

Your personal history with GSE's is notified across all GSE loans, they communicate.

Having trouble collecting with some or all of your section 8?

To maximize the number of transactions you’re involved in you will need to:Be Top of Mind when they think about moving - which requires consistent reminders.Be seen as an Expert – which requires a consistent message and Evidence of Success storiesGain their Trust – which requires communicating integritySo, start out by listing everyone you know in an Excel spreadsheet.

Is communication prompt and reliable, K1 delivered on-time?

After a bit more research, I actually think renting a place will get me started faster and earn some experience doing Airbnb with a little less risk involved.Obviously I still need to be concerned about not violating a lease agreement by doing so and I would likely live on the property and lot or all the time.Ownership is still the ultimate goal, but this looks a faster party to self driven income.
