Below that is a parlor floor, which has the highest ceiling in the building and this floor is connected to the ground floor via an interior staircase which we added doors to both ends to break up the lower duplex into two separate living areas.  

In my market we are not allowed to charge above market rent for section 8 and why charge below market on a standard lease. 

The payments tend to be lower than a standard cash out refi, so if you end up in a tight cash spot, you have the flexibility to pay less for a bit until you get your bearings again. 

It may sound nice to pay a 6% management fee but the extra fees can add up to be more than the other company that charges 10% with no additional fees.

The longer the maturity rate of the bond, the higher the yield is to compensate an investor for the additional risk they are taking on with a longer dated bond.Stocks that pay divideneds....insurance companies have a lower yield than telecom stocks as a reflection that telecoms are higher risk than insurance companies.In the efficient market hypothesis, if markets are efficient then the yields should be reflective of the risk.

Doesn't that help keep property taxes lower or the owner-occupants.If 5% of the properties are being bought by investment companies, that means 95% are not. 

I am not seeking to charge each tenant, only seeking to remotely monitor each buildings water usage to identify costly waste/problems early as possible.

This could help smooth out cash flow in the long run by locking in a lower rate and reducing future payment pressure. 2.

I think the charge is fairly nominal from what I have seen.

You can always charge an air and surface scrubbing fee from their security deposit after they've moved out.
