You are probably priced too high and think your renovation is better than the public thinks it is price wise.

I've been sued 5 times - twice as a public official and 3 times by insurance companies.

The vast majority of lawsuits against Landlords are for wrongful eviction, security deposit disputes, and Fair Housing Violations.

Landlord can require tenants to be responsible for separately metered utilities, so can avoid waste.Landlord can get annual small increases in rent.NegativesMost of us don’t treat something we get for free the same way we treat something we’ve worked hard to obtain.S8 applicants claim “broke” and don’t like to pay application feesSame goes for security depositsS8 tenants, in our experience, tend to cause more property damage than non-S8 tenants. - Make sure you get a security deposit and perhaps do a surprise inspection of their current home.S8 requires an inspection (mostly health & safety) before approving a lease and then annually thereafter. - Not something most landlords taking care of their properties have to worry about.There are limits to clauses they allow in your lease.

Laminate countertops can hold up pretty well and if damaged, will need to come out of the security deposit - lower cost product, so a larger percent of it gets paid for if damaged. 

What does it mean when I see a mortgage and debt balance and public record balance compared to estimated value??????

I’m looking for some guidance on my next steps toward achieving financial freedom through real estate.My long-term goal is to acquire enough rental properties to secure my financial future.

Each tenant also signs a lease agreement for added security. 

I will be glad to share my contractor with you just not on a public forum, pm me. 

If he could return, he’d have built the Onera Fredericksburg project publicly—sharing progress and connecting with future guests through Instagram and TikTok long before opening.
