Fortunately, the Columbus Metropolitan Housing Authority (CMHA) has been increasing rent.

I use my own application, which has an imbedded authorization to release information for their employer and landlord.If they have not confirmed an hour prior to their appointment, I send this text to their phone (which was required as part of their contact information I required in the response to my ad):As I had requested in my email, you have not yet confirmed your apartment showing for this evening, scheduled for 7:00pm.

To improve your business going forward, it is important that you recognize how you created the problem.There are a portion of residents that if you give them an inch, they will take mile. 

Truly sad.They have been reported to some authorities, but I am not sure if anyone was able to collect legally.I would love to offset the $25-30K I lost getting tied up in their scam. 

I'm an authorized reseller for Generali (for our guests that book off-platform) and it's something like $59 for the guest, and you can buy it on their behalf, but I'm not sure that it covers chargebacks.

Now I always give the disclosure that I'm not an exact expert and can only give you my limited knowledge and experience. 1st/2nd Question:I've never had a Housing Authority close up or lose financing.

I get that there are delays and behind the scenes, dealing with late suppliers, the city authorities being difficult, but I thought for sure I would be further along than this. 

Not saying it cannot be done but be aware that these programs I have heard good things about but also recognize timing and you may have a great education but bad time to implement

If you consistently analyze properties, recognizing a good deal will be much easier when it shows up.

I recognize that one can not take a passive loss if their income is over 150k; however, from what I have read, it states that if you dispose of/sell your rental that you can deduct the passive losses the year you sell.
