I'm about to start calling contractors to see if I can get them to do a walk through of a potential deal I'm looking at doing. is there anything I should have for the contract?

So, you could set up conditions to try to control potential problems:- Have them pay for monthly walk-thrus to check on condition- How much extra can they afford to pay?

And remember that even if the section * tenant offers to pay more than the allowed rent, it is illegal for you to accept more than the allowed rent and it could get both you and the tenant kicked off Section 8.

I think funds offer more flexibility, but why not take advantage of the tax benefits of a REIT structure? 

My first-ever offer currently got accepted (yay!)

If you want to see what is being offered on the market, this is a very common source and a good place to start.

When a company like Fund&Grow is going to walk me through the process anyway.

Some common names you'll see thrown around a lot: Stessa, Apartments.com, RentRedi, TenantCloud, Innago, RentManager, Avail, Rentec Direct, Doorloop, etc.I recommend you search for each of those apps online and see what they offer, how much they charge, etc.

Hi Sophia, Investing in multifamily properties can offer economies of scale, diversification, and potentially higher cash flow.

It has nothing to do with the financial performance of the offering.
