We won’t make a loan unless we know the borrower will earn a fair profit.The math works regardless of location or strategy, @Drago Stanimirovic.

Trying to weed people out at local REI meetings to be possible mentors is also gamble and a huge time suck.

At the last job fair, there were over 20,000 open positions.

I’m fairly new to the self-managing/property management business and certainly new to dealing with section 8 tenants.I have a potential section 8 tenant who has inquired about one of my properties and they are in their opinion “disgusted” with the way the carpet looks however up until this point in my efforts of marketing the property I have not had one complaint concerning the carpet.That being said she has requested to rip out the carpet, in turn to replace the carpet with hardwood floors. 

Even though we were lucky to find someone fairly quick, we did notice the rental pool of renters was a lot less but still out there or the home rental pool has increased (maybe both).Good luck!

Selling property for much higher than what a licensed appraisal would come in at moves the transaction into fraud territory.Note/lien = sales price - cash downAPR: fair reflection of riskIf APR is high => "high cost loan" under CFPB => appraisal and inspection become MANDATORYAnything less than this...that's your butt on the line.

I want to give them a chance to provide a fair resolution and improve the work before I terminate the contract & fire them.  

Very fair questions raised here.

Since you’re not getting interest despite a fair price, consider asking your management company to increase marketing efforts, use more platforms, or refresh the listing photos and description.
