Section 8 comes with benefits like reliable government-backed income, potential tax advantages, and lower vacancy rates.

If so, did you install the curved shower rod for the benefit of your tenants?  

I bought in FL for appreciation and to break even at minimum as I didn't want to realize any add'l income in those properties annually but wanted appreciation and tax benefits. (2 bedroom units / close to the beach not not high-end luxury properties) Ohio for me right now = STR rents at 1.5-3x LTR rents, budget travelers & work travelers that are much more demanding.

The benefit is you can make an illiquid asset liquid & in exchange collect royalties from people buying/selling fractionalized pieces of the property on a secondary marketplace along with the standard price appreciation of the property.

The benefit of LVP is that you lay it one time and it never needs to be refinished.

Quote from @Brett Johnson: 5-20I think the clearest path is that 5-10 space, once you get above 10 it can get kind of tricky and there could be a lot of conditions.Having a clear picture is only going to benefit, so hopefully you can snag something going into the spring and if rates start to go down a bit you'll be in great shape!

Really, where I seem to use these most is with a client that has several million in stock market investments and wants access to funds without selling the stocks and paying the capital gains taxes.I probably wouldn't advise this...but you could look around for a custodian that has really cheap margin rates...and open an account there...and then take margin out of the account...That's what I do personally. 

At home it is ok for the benefits.  

That sounds like a smart move, especially with the tax benefits!

So the agent is really suggesting that the seller should reap the benefits of potential rent increase, but the buyer should the work.
