The complaint alleges that Van Gundy and ORES did not actually own hundreds of mobile homes that they claimed ORES purchased with investor funds.

Felt like I was speaking with a virtual assistant backed by AI.He estimated my re-roof would be half the size at double the rate quotes I got from everybody else... truly amateur hour for somebody that claimed to have done hundreds of these.I also was never able to find more than 5 property records tied to his name or to related LLCs.

Did you get my note about how many hundreds of Billions of dollars the large banks have paid in money laundering fines? 

Any quack on the internet gives out ESA for a couple hundred bucks and landlords left and right are accepting animals they do not have to accept.As I said though, there are some ESA that are actually real, but still not protected and then it's a landlord decision.

I fold the letter, stuff it and place the precancelled stamp on it at a rate of 94 envelopes per hour.....takes forever.Add in screw ups (see my post about 3000 yellow letters down the drain) and you have yourself a time consuming, repetitive, completely boring endeavor.If you plan on sending a few hundred a month you can swing it on your own but if your time is worth anything you'll outsource.  

Like "renting to section 8 tenants is actually really easy", "your agent is not on your team just connect with people like me doing hundreds of deals every day and use my team instead", that hood properties will have "15-25% net caps" for beginner out of state investors when in reality they will definitely lose money every month due to the rent not being enough $ to maintain a rental property, never mind all the tenant issues involved with this property class or the difficulty of managing them remotely... but he's done thousands of them just this week while sitting on the beach in Florida... 

I don't know that there is a much bigger vetting process other than if they can pay for leads, but correct me if I am wrong.I have been on here for ten years and sourced hundreds of leads without ever asking for a single thing because all I do is show up and answer questions and add value.

You are going to most likely have a stranger hang on to several hundred thousand of your dollars.

The reality is the really rich have coastal properties and they're not going to accept nothing when it's wiped away even if they have hundreds of billions, there'll be recourse.

I haven't been expanding my business with LMHA since the end of 2016 per my posts above so I don't know exactly what changed, but I expect the outsourcing of inspections to private industry + some executive level leadership + replacement of staff with new faces excited to serve the needs of HUD/Landlords/Those In Need has resulted in an agency I will develop more business with.The HCVP will always be a double edged sword for landlords (See Section 8 Bible discussion) but for now I have discovered it is finally worth the effort to participate in the program.I specialize in Toledo's transition neighborhoods, discounted houses on the edge of nicer areas but also on the edge of trash...the Section 8 program allows me to get long-term tenants who are a good business model provided they are consistently managed and visited/inspected for additional "visitors" (relatives and random dogs/cats) and damage/housekeeping which can destroy a home if left unchecked.You need to know the rules, repair and renovate for long-term durability, prepare for inspections thoroughly and keep a team of contractors who will hold those standards...after 8 years we have been through a hundred inspections.
