The AppFolio integration works great, but everything else is hit or miss, which is incredibly stressful when you’re trying to stay on top of your property finances.I’m curious if anyone else has experienced similar sync problems or if there are any recommendations for alternative platforms that might work better.

Better than alternatives like lending at 7%, after tax, and close to the stock market. 

The program was created to give low-income tenants an alternative to living in federal project housing.S8 sets their rental rates to the LOW-END of market averages, if not slightly below.What the gurus do NOT tell you is they expect you to get a Class C S8 tenant to rent a Class D property.

They have a stats page that can help you do some research about your market I also use DPGO for stats because it’s free but Price Labs and Airdna are also paid alternatives 

I just wanted to reach out and see if there was another more efficient alternative in doing this.Its a high volume game. 

Alternatively, you could explore private money lenders or partnerships that might provide more flexible funding options.

Cap rate was still decent when I sold it, even at its updated value, versus alternatives.

In my experience, underwriting single family home rentals in California typically results in sub-4% unleveraged returns, which is awful given the alternatives. 

Yes, they should be happy to do it and yes, you'll have to find alternative solutions for the buy and rehab.

Alternatively, if you're wanting to do something more aggressive, you could consider a balanced fund, such as Vanguard's LifeStrategy Income Fund (VASIX), which is 20% Stocks / 80% Bonds.
