We just closed in late Dec so the financials are a work in progress but we’re projecting and tracking closely to a 55% expense ratio and should have about 11% CoC in year one through the renovation period as we get more renovated units online. 

The amount of ideologically inspired nonsense online is mind-boggling. 

Luckily I was in a buyer's market at the time, but about 75% of agents did not even respond to me and I could not set up appointments online because I was not a MLS member.   

3) It's been 5+ years since we've seen a S8 tenant lose their voucher for property damages, not paying their portion of the rent or utilities, or other lease violations (letting others move in with them).It's our opinion that #2 & #3 above are caused by overworked caseworkers not having the time to process the extra required paperwork, so they take the path of least resistance.4) S8 needs someone at the federal level to put more of the program online and streamline the process!

With that in mind, which approach do you think works best:1.Use property management software (PMS) as an intermediary to automate payments and fee splits while reducing legal risk and simplifying operations?

Lots of new supply now with reduced demand.

Raise rents, reduce expenses (shop insurance, appeal taxes, refinance, etc). 3.

More and more investors are looking to assume low-interest loans rather than deal with reduced cashflow thanks to today's interest rates. 

This is merely what I've observed from the content I 've seen online. 

Per the mutual agreement between the Lessor and the Tenant, the Lessor has agreed to reduce the monthly rent from $3,200 to $3,100, allowing the Tenant to repaint portions of the house at their own expense.
