We embrace S8 applicants, but screen them just like any other applicant.Many have an entitlement mentality and try to leverage their S8 voucher by pretending to be helpless:1) A percentage won't apply because they expect a landlord to waive application fees for them.2) Many cry broke and expect a landlord NOT to charge them a security deposit.3) Many of those same S8 tenants trying to avoid paying a security deposit, won't make an effort to call the list of nonprofits we send them that will pay their security deposit if they apply.4) A lot of them try to avoid paying for utilities.

Estimated Monthly Expenses:Mortgage P&I: Assuming you finance $200k (20% down, $50k) at a competitive interest rate around 7-8% (depending on current market rates and your credit) over 30 years, your payment might be in the ballpark of $1,350 - $1,470 per month [2, 3].Taxes/Insurance/PM/Vacancy/Repairs: We usually budget a percentage for these.Taxes & Insurance: Let's estimate maybe $300-$400 total a month (depends heavily on local NC rates).Maintenance/Vacancy: A good rule of thumb is 5-8% for each of those categories, so perhaps another $160-$250 total.Total estimated expenses could be in the range of $1,810 - $2,120 per month.

If a seller requires a certain percentage down, a partner could help make the deal feasible.

Also you can increase price by a certain percentage whenever there is more pool usage - spring through fall and during major events/ festivals - this will help with pool upkeep.

If there is no debt on the property, then you can form an LLC where you are both members with allotted percentages of ownership and a side agreement that details further what the obligations are for each side.

If the lender allows it, order a second appraisal through a different AMC.Sometimes the issue isn’t the market, it’s the appraiser.Just know you may have to pay out-of-pocket and the lender might choose the lower of the two.5.

However, with the fence I think it depends on the percentage of square footage.

What you want to watch is Airbnb’s percentage of that cleaning fee so you’re pricing it correctly and not losing money on every turnover.

Quote from @Paul Azad: Don't know anything about them but per my calculations they are taking 27.2% of the capital appreciation on the New Braunfels deal at the end per their projections which seem optimistic in this oversupplied environment, (Austin MSA with largest new multi-family projects coming out this year in the country ,8% of total existing stock and already seeing rent rate declines of near 10%in the city so far) and they are taking a big chunk of the monthly cash on cash as the preferred payouts for their 3 different classes are well below the projected cash on cash total.
