I could put a compact kitchen in the mini-studio.

Your opinions on the program are your opinions, but funding levels aren't.Funding for Section 8 has remained relatively constant as a proportion of HUD funding over the last 15-20 years, obviously there is always a risk that that will not continue, as there is a risk the gov't will no longer back mortgages, etc.

The trash goes into a closed unit that compacts the garbage automatically every now and then.  

It's a tiny thing with a wash tub in one side, and a spinner on the other.http://www.amazon.com/Panda-Compact-Portable-Washi...I use double lint socks over the drain hose, and two other mesh screens after the lint socks, to catch all of the lint. 

And the 2 (out of 4 units in each building) units that did get to use the carport, could barely squeeze their cars in next to each other, and only compact cars could fit into it with the door closed. 

A home loan being closed as "Settled - less than full balance" may suggest a possible short sale or recent bankruptcy where the home was not reaffirmed.A surprisingly large proportion of bankruptcies are reported inaccurately.

But I've always managed to find insurers.You can cover it with vinyl, but if you have a property with nice bones (say a nice, or even a middle class old Victorian) putting vinyl over it may throw off proportions of any attractive molding the building may have.If it's a property on Munjoy Hill/West End of Portland, you may want to consider remediation, as it would likely pay off in increased value/aesthetics/resale.  

This is usually based on the proportion of the down payment, mortgage payments, and other costs each party contributes.Financing Details: Define who will pay for what.

With rent and equity growth they can keep 1031 exchanging or refi to pull more equity out to reinvest and grow cash flow.In the beginning I used to think more about cash flow only but now it is secondary to how I can grow equity with a property by future upside and re-position BUT not in such a way it is a massive headache of epic proportions to get that yield.    

Though our common space is compact, less than 1/3 - usually around a quarter -  of the floor space, it contains laundry, mechanical, second bathroom and kitchenette {fridge, sink, counter w/ microwave, no range}.
