If you decide not to renew their lease or increase their rent they need a 60 day notice, and you have to notify S8 as well.Outside of those 2 exceptions your tenant should follow the lease like everyone else.

The key lesson is that if you rent to Section 8 tenants, their negative behaviors may result in non-Section 8 tenants to leave.Rent increases are more likely tied to the minimum wage.

We might consider a slight increase in 2026.

The mortgage has gotten out of hand due to property tax increases, miscalculated escrow, and an increase in my interest rate from an initial buy down, increasing from $2600/mo to $3200/mo.

But if you can finance a home in an appreciating area make it breakeven and at some point (as always) either rents/nightly rates will increase, interest rates will go down, or both. 

Is there a way to increase the cash flow from those?

Quote from @Rich Davis: I know there have been posts regarding the ever increasing cost of insurance.  

They usually have a step down on that penalty like 3% year one, 2% year two, 1% year three and so on and so forth.So if you are buying a deal with the intention of rapidly increasing it's value in less than 24 months in order to refinance it and pull your cash out, you might want to go with a credit union for the acquisition financing because FCUs are barred from charging pre payment penalties.I could talk about this for hours about all the nuances but my fingers don't type that fast lol

I know taxes and insurance have gone up a lot in that time so I understand that problem but the solid rent increases in that time have been able to cover most of that (at least for me it has worked out).

Then gloat about how much they made on the exit meanwhile dragging the neighborhood property values and increasing crime the entire time.
