I haven't been expanding my business with LMHA since the end of 2016 per my posts above so I don't know exactly what changed, but I expect the outsourcing of inspections to private industry + some executive level leadership + replacement of staff with new faces excited to serve the needs of HUD/Landlords/Those In Need has resulted in an agency I will develop more business with.The HCVP will always be a double edged sword for landlords (See Section 8 Bible discussion) but for now I have discovered it is finally worth the effort to participate in the program.I specialize in Toledo's transition neighborhoods, discounted houses on the edge of nicer areas but also on the edge of trash...the Section 8 program allows me to get long-term tenants who are a good business model provided they are consistently managed and visited/inspected for additional "visitors" (relatives and random dogs/cats) and damage/housekeeping which can destroy a home if left unchecked.You need to know the rules, repair and renovate for long-term durability, prepare for inspections thoroughly and keep a team of contractors who will hold those standards...after 8 years we have been through a hundred inspections.

This would make it into two, two bedroom units with the intent of making them long term rentals.I'm guilty of having a lot of projects going at once so my focus right now is bringing the cottage to a point to refinance out of the private money and either make it our primary residence for a year for the financing perks or to go straight into a short term rental.With the four bedroom house I'm trying to decide if it's worth splitting into two units or if I should keep it a four bedroom rental.The cottage I'm also tempted to do mid term with to lower the turnover and maintenance but open to suggestions.The third property I'll probably just let the current renters pay the mortgage for the time being if I'm able to acquire it anytime soon.

I’ve gotten my money’s worth after my first year in Pace’s group for sure.

Or just pay an attorney for one - it could be well worth the onetime fee of a couple hundred dollars.

A few of these links go a long way and it's well worth the effort.Yes, it seems like SEO has a big learning curve, but it's not as tough as it seems. 

Wife and I would prefer the lake house we haven’t bought yet as it checks all the boxes, but might be worth having 2 properties right next to each other. 

By negotiating effectively, we reached a deal that suited both parties, allowing us to focus on planned renovations that would significantly increase the property’s resale value.

Since the answer is probably not, they won't, is it really worth the risk in you losing everything you have in that asset when you purchased it knowing full well you weren't allowed to have a unit down there?

Let's say I buy a 4-plex worth 1 million with 20% down payment, I will have to shell 200k out of pocket, would it be possible and is it even a sane idea to  use up the entire IRA for the down payment and fund the remainder of down payment from out of pocket?

Hey team,I'm looking into buying a property in ATL and using it as a Padsplit because I love the potential to make greater returns with their rent-by-the-room model.The big hesitation for me is that they screen and pl...
