Hello all, I'm curious how much the HUD will actually pay compared to the 40th percentile rents posted on their site.I'm aware of the different amounts each tenant will cover in terms of their portion of the rent, but I'm not sure if the HUD will actually agree to my rent price.I've been taking the stated FMR for the bedroom count, and taking 20% off the number stated (to be conservative as to what the HUD will accept).

I would rather take 1 year to get all zoning done on a site where no other competitors can come than to be able to build something day one with lots of comparable lots around me.
