Within walking distance of a cruise ship port that brings hundreds of thousands of people to the area every year.

The part I cant put together though, is how they would eventually merge all of these unions (EU, AU, NAU (in the near future), etc..) under one governing authority?

I've even had some that with less than 24 hour's notice have driven over 100 miles to come see the unit and have said they will "port" their voucher over because they know how hard it generally is to get selected as a tenant that will move into a property.Was this a situation perhaps where she didn't tell you beforehand she was on Section 8?

At the moment we are looking for properties in the Port Jervis, Newburgh, Middletown and surrounding area.

@Brian Garrett Do you know what I'll have to sacrifice by going with a port. loan? 

I'd relish guidance, and tips on my upcoming 'ride'I live near Palm Beach and would like to focus on 90K-130K rentals in Port St.

My first investment property was a 2 family at 175k... i was going to put the min 3.5% down... but my lender found a grant through the cincinnati port authority.... they had grants for buying in certain neighborhoods... this particular grant was only for first time buyers, in certain neighborhoods, and you had to have 720+ credit and not make more than 100k with your W-2... but they paid my entire downpayment... and all i needed was to bring 3k in closing costs..... this allowed me to get in for so low....

The big issue I have with Ports vs every other housing authority in our market is that the others tell us if they will pay our requested rent 1st, and then move on to inspection.  

Well, they could redesign things and make the store a 'U' shape and less sqf or they could spend another 100K , or whatever it costs, to redesign the whole plan.

Machiavelli put it best: "But above all things [the Prince] must keep his hands off the property of others, because men more quickly forget the death of their father than the loss of their inheritance."
