@Dee Mandrekar highly doubtful there's such a big difference between market rent and S8 rent.First off, the GROSS S8 amount includes specific amounts for all utilities - electric, gas, water, trash, etc.We do NOT recommend including utilities in the rent because S8 only pays a certain amount and the owner is then exposed to tenant abuse of utilities. 

It's only 4 months old, but I am finding that it has to be regularly drained and refilled due to how the guest use it or abuse it.

I've found it in houses I've rehabbed.Fentanyl Statistics 2024: Up-to-Date Facts on Abuse and Overdosehttps://www.addictiongroup.org/resources/fentanyl-statistics... 

I usually only "harden" them to get them ready for the abuse they're about to endure and also do roofs, exterior paint, new HVACs, etc.

Many tenants abuse free utilities and stick their landlords with the amounts that exceed what S8 pays.

It is a great tax benefit and, as any great benefit, it is frequently abused.

It’s priced below value, but people aren’t fond of the area, low walkability score, near a bus stop, etc.I’m nearing the end of a hard money loan and I’m wondering if it’s possible to do a cash out refinance on a HARD MONEY loan.

I've lost friends and family to substance abuse so it seemed like an opportunity to do some good and make money in the process.I negotiated a sweet deal, and was prepared to buy it myself, but a few of my clients expressed interest and I ended up helping two of them form a partnership.

This is just bad banking practice and FTC should be aware of digital platforms like Baselane in many ways abusing their powers and washing their hands off. 

But it’s a loophole the the dishonest have discovered they can readily abuse.
