At 500k at 50 units you are looking at 10,000 a door going in.Those types or properties at that price point are almost for sure going to have deferred maintenance and occupancy issues and a regular bank/lender won't touch them.

I don't do section 8 but 1 of my places has some neighbors who are. on the program. last summer, 1 evening, i was trying to rent out the place; there was a nice couple w/ a baby coming over to look at the unit. they were outside & I met them. the neighbor, section 8, with her door wide open, was singing (very badly i might add) at the top of her lungs. maybe she was hoping simon cowell was stopping by?

I have a condo where the next door neighbor's washer is apparently leaking and causing damage to my unit.

No no no....K.Marie...what I meant was...if I were to try to TYPE what I do...the responses I give etc....it would put people to sleep....It really is easy and simple, but to TYPE OUT what I do, or how I present this or that, although simple, would BORE PEOPLE TO DEATH!!!

Across street down 2 doors a builder bought a house for 190k and tore it down.

Another issue is drug usage, sale or manufacturing are sufficient grounds for an automatic termination, in fact here, it's an immediate set out but the landlord will need to prove it.You do have the right to enter for repairs, treading lightly on the tenants right to quiet enjoyment, but things can be miserable to the point of a tenant wanting to break a lease too.The story of an Executive Director of a housing authority property is true, where he removed the front door to make repairs to it and the tenant left.

If there is a Realtor, the deposit goes to the listing broker in escrow and forwarded on the date of settlement with certified funds usually carried by the listing agent if they even show up.I'm no techie, but I have not heard of providing funds on line as it would certainly open the door to making such deposit with a credit card and thereby, part of the down payment would then be from borrowed funds which can make financing more difficult.

You might want to put a small wet bar near the door to that area and let them figure out what it is.

Well, while this question makes sence under your circumstances, I doubt you'll be very successful.Realtors (agents) can't just go over and open the doors and show a property without some agreements made.

If I park at the street or in a driveway and know the asking price, I know what rents would have to be before I get to the front door,or pretty close to it.But there is no substitute for looking at real costs.
