With any book, report, program, if you walk away with 1 idea, then it was worth it.

I believe rent is a favorite right now because they want to build regulations and programs that favor renters and essentially buy some votes.I don't see Landlords charging ridiculous fees for applications.

You have all the right to be concened about the violations, but I think you're out of line and being extremely judgemental assuming what programs they may or may not be on.

To add on to the cost topic, for me the cost of being an agent, Realtor association (National, State, Local), MLS membership, and eKey - the very minimum to be a Realtor - is just under $200 a month if I spread it out annually. 

The entire premise behind boarding rooms is the turnover - the agencies refill the rooms after "x" amount of time - so if Jan is taking up 1 bedroom in an all woman unit and the program requires her to leave in 4 months the agency refills it with another tenant for another 4 months etc.   

I specialize in helping real estate investors implement insurance programs for their portfolios and would never suggest my client putting a single 4 family property on a commercial policy. 

As I understand it, Section 8 can expel someone from the program for leaving with unpaid bills to the landlord.  

So we have a new property on our program. 

The Ottawa OREIO meetings are good value and membership is cheap.There are a lot of meetUps in the city as well.If you have any questions please feel free to send me a message.

I'm not sure how the Tucson market is but I wasn't able to find any properties qualifying for the FHA loan program for a 4-unit property in Los Angeles because of the Self Sufficiency qualification.Now I'm looking at buying a single family home and buiding an ADU on it since there are many low downpayment, low interest loan products out there for this strategy.
