Higher assets or cash in the bank increases what is called you compensating factors which banks/lenders use to qualify.

Why someone willingly wants to work with a government agency that will slow down turnover, dictate rents and rent increases, and dictate repairs is beyond me. 

Lilia’s breakdown of what to consider before investing is something I wish I’d read when I started.To add some color, I had a client a few years ago who purchased a duplex in Austin with a plan to hold for 12+ years.

Something that is increasingly important to those clients is being cash flow positive from day 1 and this is what we deliver.

There doesn’t seem to be a lot of great deals where I am since land has increased in value so much in the last few years.

How will the partnership cash flow cover the HELOC payments if interest rates increase?

For me, I could handle the increase in cost and still pay much less than If I got a 4/2 SF.

In addition we do not accept any applications for longer move in than the remainder of the current month and the next month (so if tenant is unable to move in by march 1, they cannot apply until feb 1 as we are unwilling to go longer than that without rent and will hold another open house).S8 needs to streamline their process if they want to increase their housing options.Best wishes

The US taxes global income which dramatically increases the reporting requirements.

There are two ways to do this decrease spending and increase income.
