Jamie Banks Baselane - Banking Solution for Landlords
25 November 2024 | 36 replies
I like that baseline seems like a good replacement for Quickbooks, as well.In regards to having multiple accounts, I’ve been told that Chase is a bank that allowed for this, but I also don’t trust that Chase wouldn’t be taken out with the other banks failing, so I don’t know about using their accounts, either.If you happen to come by a bank you would trust, I appreciate if you’d share.

Andrew Fidler Anyone else having problems with LMHA Section 8 in Toledo???
22 November 2024 | 9 replies
I haven't been expanding my business with LMHA since the end of 2016 per my posts above so I don't know exactly what changed, but I expect the outsourcing of inspections to private industry + some executive level leadership + replacement of staff with new faces excited to serve the needs of HUD/Landlords/Those In Need has resulted in an agency I will develop more business with.The HCVP will always be a double edged sword for landlords (See Section 8 Bible discussion) but for now I have discovered it is finally worth the effort to participate in the program.I specialize in Toledo's transition neighborhoods, discounted houses on the edge of nicer areas but also on the edge of trash...the Section 8 program allows me to get long-term tenants who are a good business model provided they are consistently managed and visited/inspected for additional "visitors" (relatives and random dogs/cats) and damage/housekeeping which can destroy a home if left unchecked.You need to know the rules, repair and renovate for long-term durability, prepare for inspections thoroughly and keep a team of contractors who will hold those standards...after 8 years we have been through a hundred inspections.

Stephen Hood Advice on selling to access equity
20 November 2024 | 6 replies
My AC unit has another 3-5 years before it’ll need to be replaced so I’m thinking this may be a clean exit before large big ticket items start needing attention in the next 5 years.
