I have not yet rented to Section 8 tenants, but have had so many inquiries from people with vouchers that I did investigate some of the details.

I ask these questions because I had a fire on one of my properties at the end of February and it takes my insurance company two months to finish their process (completing an investigation report etc.) to pay me 10K "downpayment" out of 35K total loss to get the restoration work started.

There are first time home financing programs available, might be better to investigate that while making that offer.

You can be sure your insurance company deals with these kinds of things all the time, and they are well aware of money seekers and ambulance chasers.I am not so sure they would appreciate you trying to run interference or investigate the case on your own.

During the last few rains the tenant checked on the stain and said it was nor moist, neither increasing.I am coming back do get in the attic and investigate.

There is just too much evidence in numerous charges against here, including an ongoing fraud investigation.

Savings $120/month.LAUNDRY ROOM CLEANING - planning to close laundry room, so would save $50/monthMOWING - I am going to investigate whether anyone will do it cheaper.

Within 2 days I received a letter stating tenant1 has been removed, there didn't appear to be ANY investigation by Sec8, etc.

Heading out to investigate the case.

A 1031 is done for like properties, I'd have to investigate it, but raw land may not be like kind for multi-family units.You didn't mention the amount of the gain, if you're at about 500K, you might check on a charitable remainder trust taking a smaller bite now and using funds for property in the trust, if it is a forever property.....see your attorneyYou might offset the gain by seller financing long term and applying the interest as well as principal to the other debt (or not) but the gain would only apply to the % or the principal received over the term.
