Another lesson, don't let people move in for a company without authority.

I was looking to link up with some real estate savvy individuals and came across bigger pockets.

You can also choose whehter they are an authorized occupant or true tenant. 

I'm not up to date with any Massachusetts laws, but I would also vet the tenant in the next day or so and see if they are even an individual I would want to keep at the property.

The Tenant-In-Common entities are each named on the deed, as well as the Tenant-In-Common entities percentage of individual ownership.

On a personal note, we plan to invest in a self storage fund and a MF fund in 2022, and perhaps one individual deal. - investing in other asset classes outside of real estate - I know some people put all of their investment into real estate, but I am a believer in diversification, so that your entire investment portfolio isn't at risk during any downturns. - keeping some cash reserves - downturns mean opportunities for smart investorsInvesting carries risk, as does not investing.

The concern could be that you are attempting to coerce them to accept your family over another family or individual who may or may not be in a protected class.

They both would be $1,000 a month but I have seen individuals stray away just on how its advertised.

Sorry I don't have any insight into the NoVA Section 8 market but I know the approved rents in the District are extremely high but I do have a question that will hopefully help you out as well...Does the DC Housing Authority do a market analysis on comparable rentals in the area before they agree to pay the amount listed on the website or are the rent amounts listed on the DC Housing Authority what investors are typically getting? 

Maybe meet with each of them individually, tell them to call you if there is any funny business and you appreciate them watching out for the neighborhood, but you'd appreciate it if they do not approach the guests.
