I'm excited for you to start your journey!

Rachelle, that sounds like exciting progress, and thank you for sharing your strategy with me.

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.

I’m committing 8 hours or so a week right now to learning about strategies and markets, and excited to network with others in the real estate business as well!

Excited to join BP and meet with like minded investors! 

There is so much that goes into it, and I am excited for the work that needs to be done to get this deal done!

It sounds like you’re in an exciting phase, with a clear vision of building a legacy through real estate.

Excited to be here again and ready to do things RIGHT this time around!!

Building credit and a strong foundation are huge accomplishments, and West Palm Beach is an exciting market for house hacking.

I went through the process, and everything seemed to be in good shape: the inspection came back clear, the appraisal was spot-on, and I was excited to get my first tenant in May.That’s when the problems started.
