However I agree with the others that pass on this specific amenity as it is a liability and maintenance prohibitive.

Currently in due diligence on a 18 unit that I plan to convert to section 8 rentals, how do you guys recommend screening section 8 tenants specifically?

Managing our own STR makes it easier to meet the criteria to do this. 

Stick with the plan, invest in multifamily properties that meet the model investment criteria.

Is your DSCR ratio greater than 1-meaning are you cash flowing (according to the lender's criteria of mortgage, property taxes and insurance (and HOA) if applicable).

Let's discuss your criteria and goals so we can work together to identify opportunities that align your expertise.

Quote from @Zachary Vanison: Hey bigger pockets family quick question which fico do dscr lenders use thanks in advance guys for the info  DSCR Lenders will use the median (middle of the three numbers from the 3 main credit bureaus) - however one nuance is that for DSCR you can typically borrow as an LLC or partnership (entity) with multiple people on the loan - it will vary whose credit score (i.e. if there are 50/50 partners) a lender will use - can depend on the specific DSCR Lender

(lender specific)The preapproval process should be a breeze if you have someone who focuses on these products and services.

Each person is in a different stage of their investing career depending on your experience level, goals, resources, time, capital, etc.Can you clarify more what your goals are so we can be more specific with recommendations? 

Crystal Clear Criteria.
