I also met the Wagner and the Nolasco team in person in their Orlando office, and they seem to care about delivering a quality product in a timely fashion.

This cushions potential value drops.Syndicator vetting: Only partner with syndicators who have a strong track record in different market conditions.Market and asset class knowledge: Understand market cycles and the specific real estate types (multifamily, industrial, etc.) you're investing in.Avoid chasing trends: Just because a market or asset is “hot” doesn’t mean it’s solid.You’re right that this approach doesn’t cap your upside, quality diversification can still generate huge returns while managing risk.Best regards,Drago

Keep it simple, paint and carpet, buy a good house in a quality area.

Review the quality of the tenant base (do they have a history of paying on time, what were the original screening criteria, do they have applications on file).

What screening process do you use? 

If you don’t want to hire a PM to manage your property I would at least hire one to do the screening.  

We embrace S8 applicants, but screen them just like any other applicant.Many have an entitlement mentality and try to leverage their S8 voucher by pretending to be helpless:1) A percentage won't apply because they expect a landlord to waive application fees for them.2) Many cry broke and expect a landlord NOT to charge them a security deposit.3) Many of those same S8 tenants trying to avoid paying a security deposit, won't make an effort to call the list of nonprofits we send them that will pay their security deposit if they apply.4) A lot of them try to avoid paying for utilities.
