Obviously there is a lot to discuss on this topic, but for a very quick glance, here are a few pro's and con's to consider when thinking about section 8 rentals:Pros:Guaranteed Rent Payments -> The government pays a significant portion (if not all) of the rent directly to the landlord, providing a reliable and steady income stream.High Demand -> There is often a high demand for Section 8 housing, reducing the risk of long vacancy periods.Cons:Inspection and Compliance -> The property must pass an initial inspection and comply with health and safety standards set by the local housing authority.

We put a mini split per bedroom as well as a larger mini split in the living room area.

I am a very active investor/realtor in the Greater Daytona area. 

My husband and I are interested in starting a real estate portfolio, but figuring out what's the best niche in this area.

They stated that the “market rent” came lower than expected and tried to tell me that market rents in the area justify $1300, which that’s just what I “accepted” on paper from the tenant.

The house ended up going under contract in just 17 days, in a market that was averaging 58 days on market in this area.

Everything costs more than you think it will, takes longer than you think it will, and exit strategies of selling or refinancing are a bit more complex and difficult than strangers on the internet make it seem.

Get creative, buy a $200 security system and place them facing the common areas and exterior of the property for the tenants safety.

Sometimes it's hard to justify what seems to be overinflated pricing on some of the houses in that area so would love to hear your thoughts or maybe even see the stats on that market.

The metal also might bring higher value depending on the comps in the area?
