Unless both the circuit breaker for the heater and the local disconnect are locked inside an "Authorized Personnel Only" area, the tenant(s) can always shut the heat off.

My question is: will the section 8 authority turn down a lease altogether if they think the rent is to high? 

Read books from Bigger Pockets authors, podcasts, independent research, talking to other investors, and pounding the pavement.

Fire your web programmer, as they are the ones to blame, not me.  

Good day BP family, Unfortunately, excess moisture needs to be dried out in the kitchen ceiling which is also the bathroom floor (great!).

I think the author was kinda over exaggerating to make a point to us ordinary folks that compounding makes us 'rich' but the real wealthy people did not become real wealthy via stock market but by founding their companies. 

The max Uncle Sam allows is 50k if you haven't taken a TSP loan in the last year.I've seen both good and bad experiences with this but at the end of the day it's no different from any other type of loan, you are just your own bank in a sense.The downside or risk is that you lose your job, your property isn't cash flowing, are unable to pay back the loan, and your retirement account suffers since the loan essentially turns into a withdrawal.The upside or best case is you have the loan for less than a year, your BRRRR pays off the loan, and you pay yourself interest 5% interest.The opportunity cost is if the stock market goes up 20% and you were only paying yourself 5% interest you'll miss out on the excess returns. 

@Jacqueline Lee I'll 1 up what @Evan Polaski mentioned....Each jurisdiction and city is going to be slightly different, but at the surface there is generally slightly more paperwork to get your property approved and into the system, but once you get it up and running and the first tenant in there, its generally straight forward to get the rent increases etc.A good place to start would be your local housing authority, they may even offer "Landlord" classes to understand the system more.  

I know most of us have heard horror stories and/or have personal experience about criminals and unsavory characters taking over vacant properties then claiming squatters rights to avert the authorities.

Declining rates and demand coupled with excess supply is making the STR business harder than ever.
