Hello wonderful community! We are closing on a multi family building near a popular local market/university/hospitals in DC and I am leaning towards mid term rental since we have plans for it in a couple of years (potentially sooner) so I am thinking this way we can avoid the headach of getting renters out--DC is tenant friendly. I do plan to self manage since I am experienced in self managing our STR. Please provide any thoughts, feedback especially if you have experience doing MTR in DC, tips and suggestions for self managing it etc. We just received the inspection report which shows that there are massive renovations needed for the occupied unit for us to pass inspection to get a licence, which means we need that section 8 tenant to leave for the work to begin. So experience/tips/suggestions dealing with section 8 tenants are weclome as well!

Hey Orien I would love to connect! I am a MTR operator in the DMV and I get a lot of corporate and insurance requests in DC specifically that I can't fill.
In terms of self managing its doable. I self manage my 3 units through my MTR Co-Hosting company where we manage 20+ properties all virtually. You just have to have the write systems in place.

@Jamie Banks said it beautifully. Systems, systems, systems. If you don't have these in place your property will struggle. Good luck with handling the situation with the tenant!
