yeah the tenant pushing back is my concern. it just so happened that this happened with the tenant that seems to not like paying. and the heating is electric and this winter has been extremely cold which caused the electric bill to jump up to $800!

Can you please help me understand better what potential concerns in your experience can potentially arise here? 

I'm not concerned about his being able to make the payments and trust him to do so. 

We are eventually going to have to address this.

I would assume that they were already tenanted with Section 8 renters since most of the time properties that pass municipal code requirements don't necessarily meet requirements for Section 8 rentals, meaning there is typically a list of repairs generated by the Section 8 inspector that need to be addressed even if the home previously passed a city inspection.  

My concern is whether I’d then be locked into only larger deals in the future. 

They’ll take care of everything from listing and tenant screening to addressing tenant concerns.

The real issue you should address up front is what does the seller want?

Some key qualities to look for include:- **Responsive communication**: A PM company that keeps you in the loop and addresses issues promptly- **Local expertise**: Knowledge of the Birmingham market and experience with Section 8 tenants.- **Proactive maintenance**: Regular inspections and quick resolution of maintenance issues to keep tenants happy and properties in good condition- **Transparent reporting**: Clear and detailed financial reports so you know exactly where your money is goingIf your current PM isn’t meeting these standards, it might be worth exploring other options.

@Daniel Hartz...it would have been easier for suggestions if you have posted the address so some of us could see if there's more equity than what is being stated.
