For a duplex, you'd likely need to double the estimate if the units are identical.

I ask because a lot of new investors are getting lured into the thought of them because you get paid by the government this alleged "guaranteed rent", but that's not really how it all works.The Section 8 website for your area or the larger one should have metrics per square foot for the area.I have one section 8 rental and 2 regular rentals.

Why not just do regular cashout refi ?  

- Having minor maintenance taken care of at no cost - Regular cleanings and maintenance so small issues don't become big issues- A hands off tenant who never bothers the landlord- A property maintained in new condition because it's in the tenant's interestI used to do primarily rental arbitrage but shifted to STR/MTR property management.

Every single beach STR looks identical so just being different can make a huge difference in numbers.  

In addition to doing regular inspections as soon as someone gives notice due and immediate inspection to determine if the unit is being kept up decent or if you need to plan on some repairs before it is turned.

That's hitting the 2% "rule", and if you can maintain regular rent on that you've really hit a home run in today's market.

I am happy with the regular distributions, always on time. 

One of the lease for a rental is about to expire and would like to change from single family to rent by the room and try, to market for regular leasing we normally go to Zillow and advertise for free, but for rent by the room not sure which of all the sites out there will be the best option(s), some of them are for free, majority pay a monthly or anual subscription ($99 to $200).Do you have any guidance on which to select?
