I’m purchasing an 18-unit mixed used property which consist of 12 residential and 6 commercial (industrial) units.

Cashflow is a consistent $1,500/month and we have owned it for about 1 year.

Crowdfunding makes real estate easily accessible, however, in regard to institutional/syndicated real estate investments, the advice of an expert who works in the industry every day, knows all the players and their track records, and performs due diligence on each offering is a great benefit to you and comes to you at no cost.

@Tim Coppola - Seems like you have a couple of consistent answers above - You have to be willing to accept vouchers but if the voucher doesn't cover the entire rent then you can turn them down because the voucher won't cover the entire rent.Is there a reason you looking to try section 8 as opposed to just renting out to the market?

The 2nd thing is to make your file look easier for an underwriter by depositing your tips consistently on certain days every month.

If you examine the BP forums, some of the most top notch agents are extremely resourceful when answering users posts, not to mention they do it on a consistent basis and ask for nothing in return.

(3.5% is minimum still for single family home)I’ve called a couple lenders and heard this consistently and just wanted to gut-check this info with the BP community for certainty.Thanks in advance for your insight!

With this experience, I have a ton of knowledge about STRs and property performance that is fairly niche to my market.With this knowledge, I have been helping prospective investors / clients in choosing where and which properties to buy to maximize returns or meet their goals with their investments. 

DO NOT PAY BEYOND THE WORK PERFORMED!!!!

You will be surprised at how willing they will be to work for you if you can consistently pay them on time...
