I find people are grateful and they pass my information on to others.

Knowing the rent will likely show up each month—even if the tenant has challenges—removes a lot of the uncertainty that can come with rentals.The people listing this apartment as a “Section 8 property” are likely trying to target buyers who value that stability.

Rather than just grinding for the next deal, I’ve put more focus on surrounding myself with the right people—those who challenge me, push me to think bigger, and share similar values.

I have taken at least 100 people out to coffee, breakfast, lunch or dinner to let them know what I do.

Quote from @Llamier Guzman: Hello people!

If you feel bad and want to save people money, start with a free pre-screening.

Love how like-minded people come together.

Capacity and Tolerance. 1) Capacity: how many people can you comfortably fit in the property, is there room to add more, or add more value to the tenants to increase rent.2) Tolerance: How many people are you comfortable living with, if there are vacancies are you able to handle that.House hacking is an amazing path to homeownership, and a nice low barrier to entry into self managing your properties.

So people argue a) whether it is actually required and b) what are the consequences if you do not file. 

I've had people put down $30,000 or even up to $50,000 as an option fee.
