Quote from @Marcus Everett: Hey Everyone, Marcus here, relatively new to SW Missouri and looking to educate myself in the world of Real Estate investing.

that we’ve learned in our 24 years, managing almost 700 doors across the Metro Detroit area, including almost 100 S8 leases:Class A Properties:Cashflow vs Appreciation: Typically, 3-5 years for positive cashflow, but you get highest relative rent & value appreciation.Vacancy Est: Historically 10%, 5% the more recent norm.Tenant Pool: Majority will have FICO scores of 680+ (roughly 5% probability of default), zero evictions in last 7 years.Class B Properties:Cashflow vs Appreciation: Typically, decent amount of relative rent & value appreciation.Vacancy Est: Historically 10%, 5% should be applied only if proper research done to support.Tenant Pool: Majority will have FICO scores of 620-680 (around 10% probability of default), some blemishes, but should have no evictions in last 5 yearsClass C Properties:Cashflow vs Appreciation: Typically, high cashflow and at the lower end of relative rent & value appreciation.

As you mentioned intentional flips are typically considered inventory-This means the income is ordinary income and as such: - Is not a capital gain, so hold time of 1 year does not change to a better long-term capital gain rate - Can not be invested in a QOF Deductions related to it can't be pushed or changed- all costs are accounted for with the inventory component

They also tend to offer good cash flow relative to their cost, especially in areas with high demand for affordable housing.

You can use your platform as landlord to advertise the service, but other than that it's not related.
