I ended the offer to rent to the tenant on December 1st and didn't receive any communication from LMHA until December 15th when they tried to schedule the inspection...that's 45 days to process a voucher.We had another home pass inspection on November 5th and we hadn't "stopped and waited" for LMHA because it had never been a major issue before so we let the tenant move in...LMHA announced on November 15th that the tenant voucher needed to be re-evaluated by LMHA and that the rent rate needed to be adjusted (The story was the "Administrator A" reviewed and approved it but since they had resigned, now we had to wait for "Administrator B" to do it.

I was interested in them helping me with job placement afterwards.

Hey Michael,Appreciation potential due to economic dev/population growth/job growth.MTR / Corporate rental ratesMore velocity potential on our $$ in 2025. 

So it's probably an expensive job IF I'm even allowed to do it.I'm house hacking this property by living in this basement and renting the upper rooms so I can prolong the decision for a year.

You can also schedule inspections in advance.

I’m 20 years old and live independently, fully supporting myself with a full-time job.

Anything more than a gut job is a plus in my book, I assume the worst. 

The economy is also pretty diverse and strong - lots of growth in population and the job market and there is strong rental demand.

And you can't accommodate everyone's schedule. 

Most often the application process takes longer because previous landlords do not respond in a timely manner, jobs verification doesn't respond in a timely manner, and the tenant doesn't provide the necessary documentation.
