Have you ever had a year where your insurance or proper tax’s went down?

Along the same lines, the buyer who can barely qualify for the entry level SFH is acutely aware of their cash shortage and therefore are going to be less accepting of household features near the end of their useful life, even if still functional and have a stronger desire for anything that is listed as a deficiency on the inspection report to be corrected. 

Be thankful you have a section 8 tenant who is coming to you first with this issue and trying to get it rectified through the proper channels.

Tools like Rentometer and BiggerPockets can help compare rental prices, and working with a CPA and attorney will ensure you structure your investments properly.

@Kyle Carter we manage around 700 doors, with 92 of them being S8.When S8 applicants are properly screened, they can statistically perform a decent amount better than cash-tenants.

They could have had better affiliates who do a better job on a turnkey property.ofcourse you are right that I could have done my proper due diligence which I did.

The second violation gets them suspended until they watch a 5-minute video that addresses their violation and proper behavior, and then they pass a five-question test.

For functional aspects of the home the buyer usually just looks for potential issues but doesn't analyze the differences for valuation purposes.

It needs a proper investment strategy to reach the goal you are looking for.
