At $600K, the numbers only really work if you can differentiate with design, amenities, or targeting longer stays.

Quote from @Christopher Rubio: Quote from @Drew Sygit: @Christopher Rubio Section 8 really should be targeted for Class C properties.We manage almost 100 S8 leases in the Metro Detroit market.While S8 may address tenant nonpayment issues, there are other challenges with tenant-portion of rent payments, tenant damages, dealing with S8 Annual Inspections and dealing with the nonresponsive caseworkers (underpaid & overworked).It also does NOT pay more than market rent.

It’s a townhome located near a major medical area, so I’m targeting traveling nurses and other professionals looking for 1–6 month stays. 

I don't think you have to target a specific neighborhood. 

Deals like that often come with strong underwriting, professional property management, and a team approach, which can make targeting undervalued, multi-tenant properties more manageable.Markets that have been showing opportunity  include Sun Belt cities with growing populations and job markets, as well as secondary metro areas where older properties can be repositioned for higher returns

The biggest challenge is having good growth - properties that meet our criteria and return targets, not just buying for the sake of buying.In correlation to our growth challenge, finding suitable and enough private investors also poses a big challenge for us. 

If you’ve done something similar, know which neighborhoods are worth targeting, or can recommend agents, lenders, or contractors familiar with investing, I’d love to hear your insights.

I reccomend having a clear budget and timeline ready and know your target resale or rental numbers.

🚫 Not worth splurging on:Fancy wall art (most guests barely notice)Premium cookware (unless targeting execs)Expensive rugs or decor piecesFocus on comfort and function — not Pinterest.What’s one item your guests always appreciate that you didn’t expect?

Let us submit our own comp pack up front and give a clear appeal path when value misses, with target turn times.
