I also understand the importance of protecting your business standards.

I was wondering if anyone knew of a different part of Texas that has a good ratio of cheaper Housing and Higher payment standards for the section 8 program. 

Since I list some of my (very few - I only have 3 residential units and my commercial ones are all managed by others) units every 2-3 years, I forget how to do it, and even standard operating procedures change a lot at that frequency, rendering them much less useful.

Demolition and Property Safety:If a home doesn't meet safety standards after a tornado, the process for demolition typically falls under local government jurisdiction.

Additionally, you might want to consider working closely with your local Public Housing Authority (PHA) to screen applicants more thoroughly or negotiate higher payment standards for better tenant placements.PS: Something that may help you: Baltimore recently passed the Tenant Opportunity to Purchase Act (TOPA), which aims to strengthen renters' rights and provide better engagement between landlords and tenants.

Even my best rentals I bought in 2019 wouldn't meet those standards. 1% rule, or certain metrics for cap ex and maintenance etc might not work in todays market unfortunately. 

Renovating everything, floors, bathrooms bringing it up to the new living standard.

I've heard more lenders having issues lately with this "dual layer", even though the standard family trust and its individual settlors are usually the same for liability, credit, and tax purposes. 

I'm particularly interested in understanding:- Key renovation aspects that meet Section 8 standards- Common pitfalls to avoid in the process- Any specific features or improvements that are highly recommended to facilitate a smooth inspection and tenant satisfactionAny advice or a checklist you wish you had when you started would be super helpful.Thanks a lot! 

Its less a niche than it is a standard business.
