Does anyone have experience renting one with their units? 

This whole experience has taught me a few key lessons:Insurance: Make sure you’re fully covered for disasters.

I'm eager to absorb any advice, insights, or experiences you all are willing to share.

Because of the low down payment it is a great way to get experience while getting started. 

With my experience with squatters/homeless people.Most of the time they have warrants!

I'm from Houston with a background and experience in construction for over 10 years.

Generally speaking my tenants communicate so it's not usually a surprise either.I do network with locals for local advice, which is why I'm genuinely curious about the lead issue and your experience with renter assistance programs causing problems.

If I have had a negative tenant experience (late payments, hostility, drug use, damaging property, etc) one of the options available is for me not to release.

I was wondering if any one has experience with obtaining a VA construction loan.

And we ask him if he wouldn't mind reporting to us in 12 months on the amount of savings he experiences from switching from incandescent bulbs to CFLs.
