If it's that old I'm guessing it's not in a pan with a drain so it could do some real damage to the property. 

Hi Richard, Curious as to how you went about this situation and how did it pan out?

This place will be cute,clean, and beautiful.I would like to know what some of the problems are that section 8 landlords have had to fix before being approved, as some seem a little strange and easy to miss [such as a drip pan under the stove.  

Have you asked to see a passport, work visa, citizenship papers, social security/tin number ,etc or are you assuming they are illegal because of perceived nationality ,accent, name, or some other prejudices.

I leased a moving van about 1 year ago and have been giving it away in Aspen Colorado to locals and non-profits for use whenever they like.It has generated a lot of good will but NO leads that ended up panning out.My question is: How should I change the program to be more effective?

I am working maybe 4-5 types of leads at this point, to see which ones pan out better.

 - if it can pan out that I could be all in at $800k for a property valued at $1m it would be tempting to sell unless I could get rents at over 0.7% value to rent ratio.  

I don’t think things will pan out the way I hope in the next few years but 5+ years, probably 10.

How would that situation (within confines of the law) pan out in Texas?

If that was the case, we would all have tin/metal roofs.
