With nothing else to do, they do seem to have more "drama" in their lifes.So, to be successful with S8 tenants, you need to screen them even BETTER than cash-paying tenants and spend more time monitoring them.

Before offering, line up a local lender familiar with duplexes/triplexes, confirm zoning and owner‑occupancy rules, and pre‑screen a property manager even if you self‑manage.

I usually screen my own tenants, so I'm asking for more information about them (FICO, employment history, etc.) and am planning on meeting them.It sounds as though it is a rental vs personal home.

Interested in using my W2 income to purchase small-mid-size multi-family properties in Cincinnati, OH that have value add potential and receive a CoC return of at least 8% once renovated.

Small and mid-sized businesses led the declines, while education, health care, and large companies were the only bright spots.Minimize imageEdit imageDelete image👉 Bottom line for housing and rates: Hiring has now slowed in three of the last four months, and job losses like this usually ease pressure on the Fed to keep rates high.

all they do is help screen out properties. 

I first had someone I screened so carefully ditch on their lease and not pay rent, and they left me with an entire apartment full of furniture- upstairs, no less.  

I believe we might be comparing different sized assets the properties i would start on need a team of about 5 people (manager, maintenance team, accountant, me as manager and GC and investor knowing how to do due diligence and rehab costs and my lawyer and my trusted subs ive used for years.

What I’ll bring: Process-driven ops, conservative owner comms, clear KPIs (vacancy, turn time, WO cycle, reconciliations).Solid SOPs for leasing/screening/collections/inspections; consistent trust reconciliations; compliant advertising.  

So I've heard this can run you a lot - around $30,000 for the average sized home of $400,000 in the area I'm looking at.
