I'm not on facebook due to E-Mail eats up enough of my time, and I noticed that people get totally trapped by it Like my wife (sorry babe).

Others complain about maintaining large houses that they feel are necessary because they are trapped in them most of the year.

I called an exterminator, and their only proposal was to seal off holes and lay traps on all floors.

You don't want to fall into the trap of paying for cash flow.

You could sell for your payoff so it is cheap and the payments are spread back over a longer time to lower your payments or sell it for what it is worth to the llc to unlock trapped equity and have that cash to invest in the next deal. 

This last comment written by Frank is the best "DON'T FALL INTO THE TRAP".

I regretted making those extra payments and I always kinda figured that money was now trapped in equity.  

Does anyone have suggestions for property managers in the Hampton Roads Area that specialize in Section 8 and/or tenants in rougher neighborhoods in general?

Tenants living in Section 8 units pay 30% of their income towards rent, and HUD pays the difference between the Section 8 contract rent and the tenant's portion to the landlord.

You will probably want to do some sort of course in real estate math, marketing and communication,  and consider getting a mentor, but don't fall into the trap of paying someone like GC $10,000 to go to a seminar - just don't do it.
