I am interested in a lot that has city approved plans for a SFR. Is it possible to get conventional financing to buy + fund the construction ?

@Nathan Gesnermarket rent for my units is $950. currently resident manager's unit rent is $775 and she is on Section 8. Her compensation today:

1. She does not pay $575, portion of her rent in section 8

2. I pay her 40 hours per month at minimum wage as a resident manager. 

Hello Fellows,

I have a resident manager who is on Section 8 in my 27 unit apartments. My property management company says that they cannot a credit logging since she is on Housing. I end up paying her 40 hours per month and free lodging. I only get $200 from HUD that is the part HUD pays.

Anyone has handled Section 8 resident manager compensation structure better than this setup?

@Joshua Adlam - it is a law in California that I need to have a resident manager for property with 16+ units. 

@Nathan Gesner / @Filipe Pereira - thanks for sharing some ideas. I will try to add these things in her employment contract.

Hi Fellows,

I have a 27 unit apartment complex. I inherited resident manager and she does not much but I still have to keep her on property manager’s payroll that I had to pay anyways.

I wanted to ask what sort of duties an on-site manager does for you ?

My property manager says resident manage cannot perform repairs on property, is there any sure regulation / law around it ?

Thanks, Gary
