Credit Karma has a fantastic "score simulator" tool that you can use to project credit score changes (paying off balances, opening a new card, using an old card that has not been used in some time, just paying your bills on time for 6 or 12 months).

If things start getting tight, you can always switch to doing work for clients too in order to raise funds. 

If you're wondering if rates are too low, raise them a hair in advertising and see if your number of inquiries drop.

Is this the same @Paul Lucenti who responded with  "Thank you - I guess we will find out". when I was critical of your posts a few days ago about raising money to scale your business by investing in section 8 rentals?

I'm a Tyler native.. born and raised there.

I'm born and raised in Houston and now work with a full service long-term rental management managing over 300 doors - all SF or MU (up to 4 unit).

.- If you chose to set up your LLC as a pass-thru entity, then you will need to supply your SSN.FYI - to avoid getting nasty letters from the IRS about errors (which might cause us to be audited), we will ask for a copy of your EIN assignment letter or a copy of your SSN card to confirm those numbers.

Everyone knows about that, so I’ll move along.There’s also the big heart…minus the Jesus fish on the sleeve or the cards.

if there is appreciation, but you wouldn’t sell your current home tax free and buy a neighboring home to rent out, (There by raising your cost basis for additional depreciation and lower capital gains tax.) then it probably doesn’t make a good rental property. . 

You might choose not to renew leases, make improvements, and then raise rents after taking over.
