Did you go in with an idea of how you wanted to modify the property based on your experience, or did the rehab modifications strictly depend on what was minimally necessary and within the budget determined by your deal analysis? 

@Mark Cios When you accept a Section 8 tenant, the housing authority will do an inspection of the property and recommend repairs or modifications you need to make to meet their standards.

I did get a hefty number of houses that said they are doing a loan modification.

I am also in the process of trying to either get a loan modification or a refinance, however, my debt to income is too high for a refinance and I am being told for a modification the house must be in foreclosure or considered a hardship.

Yes, that's what I was saying, the loan will be more likely to be audited after a modification, wait a couple years to mess with deeds, IMO, but even then, yes, the due on sale clause is real.

After seeing "Barbie's Palace" I see I will need to make another modification to our rental agreement!

Again, note modifications are the new extension of credit just as originating a new note, just because you own the note doesn't give you a license to originate new notes or extend credit.

A slight modification to strategy.

I worked as maintenance for awhile and I love doing home modifications stuff such as flooring, plumbing sometimes and I enjoying it.I started educating myself for RE for almost 2 years.

If you're trying to find a manager at less than 10% (for fewer than 30 units), that could necessitate additional management overhead, as you've probably hired a smaller firm that won't be as well staffed and responsive as the larger property management companies.
