Usually with Section 8 you need to give them 60 days to approve a rent increase (this is at least how it is in Massachusetts with my tenants).

I’m now looking to expand my portfolio into Tennessee, Massachusetts, Maryland and Minnesota markets.I’m eager to connect with realtors and lenders who have experience with multi-family properties (leaning to commercial) and understand the dynamics of value-add opportunities in other markets.

You're just paying for a service. 

@Tanya Maslach try Padsplit.Only other option is to try to "bribe" a PMC to TRY it by offering to pay them more than their normal charges.Managing a Boarding House (room-by-room rental) is not as easy as owners think.

Mail people that appear to be in a tight spot - i.e. 90 day notices, unpaid taxes, ect. 

I'm working a lead and the seller gives me permission to visit the property after confirming a time with the tenant.

Yes, I know a property manager!

I am currently going through the process of purchasing a 9-unit multifamily property.

-We are closing on a primary residence in a couple of weeks that has a cottage on it that we will begin short/mid term renting upon close. 

I do have a realtor in the area as well as a general contractor I use for most of the repair work.
