Hi @Michael Hayes,

Have you checked out the options on Carrot's Marketplace page?

To improve your SEO, it's best to build backlinks organically. For example, if there are complementary companies you work with, you can link to their site, and they can link to yours. You can write guest articles on other sites, and have one link back to your site.

 have had awful experience with SEO companies in general. Fiverr and upwork also for SEO or for youtube etc. they backlink to random sites overseas and get overseas subscribers which really do not help you IMHO.

 My experience is you get what you pay for. I had multiple FIVRR folks do work but a lot of them will create back links on sites with high toxicity scores so it actually ends up hurting you. You’re better off to pay 3-5$ an hour for a virtual assistant doing SEO Fulltime for a month or so.

Just provide some good used appliances.

@Andrew Postell thanks for the tag. 

@Michael Hayes

If you are not supplying the appliances they are not part of the inspection. Not all the section 8 inspectors understand this. So you may have to explain that to them. If you are claiming to S8 that are suppling them and in reality the tenant is...that could get you into some fraud issues. You don't want to risk that over a couple dollars in rent. When you get S8 certified they explain all this in their class.

NEVER let a tenant in early. EVER.

@Michael Hayes you should discuss this with the S8 office handling the inspection.

Most HAP contracts require a landlord to supply the fridge & stove, NOT the tenant.

Violations of the HAP contract may lead to rent abatements and even banning of the landlord from S8 program (usually only with that specific Housing Agency).
