I’ve done extremely well so far in the past 5 years of investing by simply meeting with prospective tenants and having a good application to weed out the dead beats.

The investor generally needs 6 months of "reserves" or savings of mortgage, property taxes and insurance (and HOA if applicable).

The martial arts helps kids in so many other respects than just the self-defense application so it's not all bad.With the arts you have to train for a very long time to take complex movements and make them part of your natural reaction process.

How to get the maximum rent from secion8 applicants?

I live in a small town and get at least 10 applicants everytime I list.

Beyond that period, new applicants will need to wait until the current active rental list declines by roughly 100 permits. 

Tell them you are offering a renewal but they must complete the application within one week.

And this is not the case for a true flip, as in Basit's #1.Mentioning #2 creates a dangerous incentive to ignore the rules applicable to flipping and rely on a flimsy declaration of "intent" to hold the property as a rental. 

@Zachary R Beale First off if I were you I would make sure I had little to no debt except for my student loans if applicable and potentially a primary residence mortgage.

They followed up right away on my pre-approval application that I submitted online.The appraisal (which usually seems to be a bottleneck with other lenders) reached out right away, even before my term sheet was finalized.Now here is where I feel a bit frustrated with their product marketing and what I actually got.
