Investors should fully understand that Section 8 is not a cure-all for Class C & D tenant challenges, it's just trading one set of problems for another.We see too many investors not doing enough research to fully understand all this and making naïve investing decisions.

Check out the chart showing the fast rent growth and declining rent growth cities, which could help inform your decision on growth markets. 

During my Longmont deal, I realized how important it was to have someone who not only brought resources to the table but also shared the workload and decision-making.

This decision often comes down to a simple numbers game.

So, you’re at someone else’s expertise, decision making, experience, analytical skills, information flow, managerial capacity, oversight, etc.  

You want an accountant who can help you strategize and who is responsive when you want to know the consequences of the financial decisions you are making throughout the year.Good luck.

@Nicholas Stout Normally when I hear landlords make the conscientious decision to "convert" their properties to Section 8 rentals, they have a real estate problem wrongly diagnosed as property management or tenant issues.

This is my first investment of this sort and it has not worked out how I originally intended but I am learning from my mistakes and will be making better decisions in the near future What made you interested in investing in this type of deal?
