(im not a lender and never pretend to be lol)Front our experience, Lenders usually look at your credit report, income, and tax returns to get a sense of your financial health.

I am in Alaska, the dark winters just aren't manageable for me anymore so I decide for mental health reasons its best to relocate.

First, look into the financial health of the Association.

Money means nothing without your health, time, and family to enjoy.

We partner with a lot of organizations that help certain individuals whether it be re entry programs, addiction programs, section 8, mental health organizations etc. with that a large number of our residents receive some type of subsidy and most are not section 8.

I’m in the health care field and I used to work for the 2 hospitals in Springfield IL.

My usual lendor has the health issue and can no longer fund it. 

I also have a one-page Mold Policy that explains how we will move forward if they insist mold is present or impacting their health.

Report each issue on a separate ticket (grass, trash, health hazards, etc).

For our clients, we separate repairs into catergories: 1) Health & Saftey - highest priority to avoid lawsuits2) Property Preservation - don't want a $500 water leak repair to become a $5k repair later3) Government Required - for city & S8 inspections4) Marketing Negative Impact - who wants to rent a "purple" house?
