And remember that even if the section * tenant offers to pay more than the allowed rent, it is illegal for you to accept more than the allowed rent and it could get both you and the tenant kicked off Section 8.

I think funds offer more flexibility, but why not take advantage of the tax benefits of a REIT structure? 

My first-ever offer currently got accepted (yay!)

If you want to see what is being offered on the market, this is a very common source and a good place to start.

Some common names you'll see thrown around a lot: Stessa, Apartments.com, RentRedi, TenantCloud, Innago, RentManager, Avail, Rentec Direct, Doorloop, etc.I recommend you search for each of those apps online and see what they offer, how much they charge, etc.

Hi Sophia, Investing in multifamily properties can offer economies of scale, diversification, and potentially higher cash flow.

It has nothing to do with the financial performance of the offering.

I had been considering offering a rent-to-own contract with recovery protections if the deal went sour. 

@Alan McKendreeHappy to share with you what we are now offering for people looking to learn

When the contract says the assignee is paying cash, from my experience, it waives any contingencies that come with a financed offer.
