@Taylor Davis sure thing! I bet we have one on file. Message me your email and I’ll send it over!

@Joseph Schommer

Always so kind to us!!

I love data. Eventually I’ll get out of the weeds a bit and build ours out a bit more haha

@Chris Clothier

100% agree with all of this.

@Shay Levy looking forward to it, man. Happy to help!

@Alexander V.

We manage a lot of section 8. It’s a lot of work but we like the program. Guaranteed rent is great. The inspections aren’t usually bad at all. It’s usually a little easier to get longer leases, renewals, and rent rate increases.

The wear and tear is typically tougher. Tenant expectations are much harder to manage.

Happy to dig in more if you have questions!

@Nicole Heasley which report do you get?

@Cory Lucas

Nah, I think you did great! It can be tricky.

One thing I do is hide my number from the leasing advertising so all inquiries go to my leasing email. Then I just reply to tenant inquiries 2-3 times per day. Once I do showings I have several tenants come at the same time (since so many no show).

Once you do it more it’ll get less daunting!! No shame in letting someone else step in when you’re spread thin.

@Shawn Alexander

Read Shift if you want a crash course! But generally with a shift you want high cash reserves and/or strong equity. If you have a good lender they’ll let you use your current equity as collateral. If you don’t like that, refinance and pull the cash out!

What are your current terms? That can make a difference too.

@Shalom Benton

Go Section 8! And make sure you put it at the beginning of your description. Tenants will for sure find you!

@Michael Olawale

Furnished finder! You can find traveling nurses, etc. not a ton of competition on there either
