Yes, we're there to help and provide guidance; however, please be mindful that a mentor will help minimize mistakes but not eliminate all mistakes. 

To minimize delays, it is important that you get approval to be a section 8 landlord from each housing authority.

Good due diligence is always required to minimize risk. 

The real issue is that they didn’t have a plan to monitor usage or set up protections to minimize costs during the eviction process.Ideally, the PM could’ve done things like:Limit access to unnecessary areas to reduce power use.Install smart thermostats to keep heat at a safe minimum.Request a utility cap in court during eviction proceedings (if allowed in your area).Bottom line: It’s less about the utility switch itself and more about proactively managing costs once the tenant overstayed.bro what? 

@Tyler Speelman Your strategy to assist your sibling with a down payment while minimizing tax liability is creative but comes with complexities.

Minimizing CostsHolding a real estate license comes with ongoing costs, such as licensing fees, MLS access, and association memberships.

We’re really best suited for those high income earners out there with strong investment experience and cash positions to literally take the reigns and create a strong cash flow product and tax write off for them with minimal time spent on their part.

We try to set up at least 3 timeslots each week when we can schedule all the showings to minimize the tenant interuptions.If they won't cooperate or cancel too many scheduled showings, we warn them we will pursue collections to the fullest extent of the law. 

It’s also great that you already have equity in your primary residence and cash available—those are valuable resources for getting started.If you’re considering a multifamily property, house hacking could be a great way to dip your toes into investing while minimizing risks.

Learn the eviction procedure for your area, perhaps contact a lawyer in the field to help you with this one, and get the fraudster you're currently housing out on the sidewalk to sleep in a cardboard box where they belong.You're going to lose plenty of money here, but this will never happen to you again, and you can minimize your losses if you move as quickly as possible.
