You sort of answered this in your post though, where you mention keeping the cashflow for myself, and I don't think it's a great idea to charge an upfront fee for these deals.

I own/operate over 150 units in Pittsburgh and you can find every sort of real estate investment play here.

I suppose it could be a first time in history sort of thing but as far as statistics go the market has always recovered and always went up further than ever before.

If your looking for the least amount of risk and biggest bang for your buck I would look for a company that is a reputable turnkey provider thats actually in Detroit and offers things such as an efficient boots on the ground team, all sorts of established local relationships, solid in-house management, an operation that is highly skilled and well versed in section 8, a company that has proven relationships with both out of state and local lenders.

I’m hopeful going into this slow season  because I have traction and great SEO optimization but can’t give any sort of projection at the moment. 

Or some sort of JV.We're speaking with Builders now who want to handle the horizontal development themselves. 

Hopefully you will get things sorted.

@Vinay Sanapala, I am going to sort of summarize a lot of what others said.I had a small portfolio of about 6 section 8 properties at once.  

What sort of paperwork did they give you regarding the investment?

Usually in order to achieve that, you will need to get into some sort of a business.
