I would focus on buying a handful of high quality B properties (for the optimal combination of cash flow and capital preservation/ possible appreciation) with low turnover and low maintenance costs rather than many lower-tier properties that will likely bring more issues, especially if you have to deal with Section 8 housing authority bureaucracy. 

If it drops it to a number below the ROI you could get elsewhere... why not sell it and take the profit + reinvest in optimal returns?

During this first 20 videos no need to optimize your tags, titles, thumbnails (canva.com is free), etc. because you won't have much past data to reference. 

It's great that you're thinking ahead on how to optimize your systems. 

I just want to optimize my REI the best way possible.

There are people who have financed their entire portfolios over decades with section 8 alone and if they are achieving optimal profits, they would argue its without question worth it 

That said, always on the lookout to optimize rates!

I wouldn't characterize it as "rough", as rough in LA or Indianapolis means significantly more crime and boarded up houses.We are now in the fortunate (and somewhat surprising) situation where we are sitting on a property with a decent amount of unrealized equity, but which at the same time, is highly sub-optimal in terms of size/layout, so we are trying to consider/evaluate our options.It is possible that the best course of action may be to do nothing, but any ideas/thoughts are greatly appreciated.Thanks for your input.

They offer any lease term you want, but they just charge different amounts for the different periods to guide you into an optimal renewal time for them.Personally, given my market, I would just do the 1 year lease with a 60 day renewal.

Or they could decide to reduce risk, increase income, and optimize their life.
