If there is a minor clog in the p-trap (the curved portion) of the pipeunder the sink, Tenant may disconnect the pipe, clear the pipe manually, andreconnect the pipe to clear the clog or may call Landlord for assistance.""

Is there anyone here on BP that lives in Dallas Texas that invests in Section -8 type properties ?

It’s really the only way out of that trap.

If you can avoid the traps of more=better and falling into the mindset of having to continually grow; then the passive income from a small portfolio will allow you to live work free, which I think most would say is a factor in their happiness.For us, our real estate portfolio (even before it cash flowed) provided us with the confidence that we had some plan for the future.

I've ALWAYS preached that it's free money... this is true, free money, however, why would you want to trap money into a government controlled account that your will pay taxes on when your 59 1/2?

I bought a nice apt building because the owner was so fed up paying electricians to go flip breakers and plumbers to hand-tightening sink drain traps.

I will ensure my children do not fall into the same traps I made and hopefully help others along the way.Great thread! 

Take a look at Julianne’s post above, explains how to go through the process or you can find a property manager with experience in Section 8I’d recommend using it in B or C class areas.

Stuff like "postmates" and uber and all that is just a trap.

However, that is a very human-centric thinking which is problematic.Here's a saying I heard this week:If insects were destroyed, all animals and humans would be quickly extinct.But if humans were destroyed, the rest of the earth would blossom.
