There is a tremendous amount of energy around the long term prospects for the Cape.

For where you source deals are you seeing a similar amount of oppertunities?

With the massive increase in STR properties in the US, I am hopeful that lenders and appraisers will evolve to apply income/exp metrics to STR deals specifically, on top of generic property comps.

Communication was a massive problem with them but they have come through on that with weekly calls or onsite visits with my rep.The timeline on this has been beyond ridiculous though - and I have to wait and see how long this really and truly takes until tenant is in place and the property is fully stabilized. 

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.

This document is signed by the contractor, subcontractor, or supplier after they have been paid in full, and it legally waives their right to file a mechanic’s lien against your property for the completed work.There are two main types of lien waivers:Conditional Lien Waiver – Becomes effective only when payment clears (use this if you’re issuing a check or waiting for a transaction to process).Unconditional Lien Waiver – Takes effect immediately upon signing, meaning the contractor cannot later claim unpaid amounts and file a lien (use this only when you’re certain payment has been fully made).To protect yourself, always require a signed and notarized unconditional lien waiver after making final payment.

What you can't do is adjust that amount to different tenants because if you gave it to someone else for 1725 or less even though you said 1800 and them NO to them for 1725....do that enough times and that may cause them to think you are discriminating against sec8 tenants.

But in my experience, you would be better off spending that same amount of time/hustle working a second part-time job with guaranteed income, then investing in buy-and-hold properties.
