question for property managers and self manging landlords. 

Then eventually mange the managers. 

I don't let my Property mang. take care of small issues because they over charge.

Much easier to mange and will make more money over the long haul than non appreciating rentals.Most investors that have CASH not leverage will eventually gravitate to trust deed investing.

They are a little extreme but provide insight into an operation that owned and manged 300 sec 8 sfrGet the local housing authority inspection checklist to understand what is required (and what is not: screen doors, washer/dryer and hookups, etc)Personally I am trying to better the community

As someone that manged a 320 unit property that was partially section 8, I would say it's something personally for my own rental pocket book could not afford, I saw many apartments damaged, the inspections by Sect 8 are not easy to necessarily pass, and when they do re inspections they will fail a unit for a burnt out light bulb.. so your rent subsidy get's delayed..

My business partner there has a large Pm company he manges 1200 plus units. and he has investor friendly agents...

They often take a lot of time and skill to mange profitably and can be very difficult to sell when you wish to exit.

I also know of investors that have 30+ units and mange them themselves.
