With the amount of losses you have had it might be a good time to try and offer a Cash for Keys deal for the tenant to move out and just cutting your losses while there is uncertainty about what is going to happen in 2021.

Have you paid their standard fee (or beat them up to lessen it further) or a premium to cut the line when updates or revisions are needed?

Current strategy will be to build out as short term rental, 2br 1 ba.Still have not sat down to do business plan, admittedly this is my growth area, but I know its a necessary component to the journey.cheers yall, hope everyone is getting out to enjoy the weather this weekend.

They will under cut and do whatever to squeeze 3rd party sellers.

The culture component is ESSENTIAL!

arbitrage is not a short cut to owning property.

There used to be some landlord seminars for Dallas Housing Authority ever so often, so that might be a good place to ask if they are still doing those.One thing to think about is if Section8 might be subject to the DOGE cuts?

@Ryon PaxHave you considered cutting some of your personal expenses to pay for the HELOC or find another way to generate added income?

Renters see that the whole neighborhood is available for rent and they push to see who will give them the best deal (or which agent will cut them a deal). 

It's slick and can cut down on bad debt as well as reconciliation time after moveout.
