Quote from @Devin James: @Jay Hinrichs Developments are definitely BIG money makers, but thats also reflected with the risk associated.That's why these projects take so much time and capital, but if you make the right judgements for project selection, and do all your due diligence, it'll turn out well. my 90 home project in Oregon  started it as dirt before covid .. got 1st phase built then covid hit.. had to fight through lumber sky rocketing and other material shortages and the of course interest rate spikes.. but the project ( and I give credit to my Wife and my GC's attention to detail) has sold Very well for record prices and profits .. its de risked now 22 lots left 13 are presold with big non refundable deposits and only 9 lots left that have no debt..

Seller disclosed leases and may have kept half of deposit.

The company doesn't really have a "credit score" or "eviction history" so I'm thinking about asking for 1.5x or 2x monthly rent as a deposit (we normally do 1x month rent) just like I would for a tenant without established credit history.Thanks!

In our24 years of experience, managing almost 100 S8 leases currently, the average S8 tenant has a FICO under 580, numerous collections from utility & cell phone companies, doesn't want to pay a security deposit, much less an application fee and claims they don't know how to fill out their S8 paperwork despite being in the program for several years - hint: they want YOU to do it for them.Most, not all, are eligible for government assistance due to a funeral-march of bad choices.REALITY: you are trust trading one set of problems for another.You can succeed with S8, but you need to understand the challenges and plan accordingly.
