I'm looking at getting into Section 8 but have a lot of questions.

However, tenants have not been great, basically late on rent and/or leaving repairs that eat all profits.

As long as you have documentation to back up the figures on your 1040, you'll be fine.

It shouldn't be a recurring scenario (or it looks a little less "accidental") but in cases like this, your job is to simply have the correct intent, see what you have done to demonstrate that and build your case.

Two of my rentals have some leaking from the ceiling in the rooms and don't see much actual damages on the roof itself.

I still have the other property left and I think I will keep it at least for several more years.I have been doing necessary repairs and upgrades on the property that I still owe including some that I foresee I would've had to do in the near future.

Reading the reviews they are 150 5* . owners have had it for 20 years. 

Are they as passive as I have heard about?

higher rates have crushed cash flow.i never really used the rule to begin with. 

I watched my parents flip houses since I was little and have always been on job sites or made "pocket money" by doing chores like painting fences or washing kitchen cabinets, which I realize now my parents were putting us to work to build that sweat equity.
