As you can see from the image below, which comes from my profile (see section below my colleagues), your references are neatly displayed on your profile for all to see: Why References & Testimonials are Helpful Having your partners, customers, clients, or colleagues write you a reference allows other members to see that you're someone that they should also be working with.

Real estate investing is a field where your past experiences and your skills (whether that’s accounting or customer service) can come into play for your benefit.

That's why there is a continuum of feedback on section 8 on these forums; since they are run by the local HA, your "customer experience" is based on them, not on the Federal HUD.I say treat this like any other non-paying tenant and serve a pay or quit notice.  

There are more advantages to this too - sellers, escrow companies, lenders, and everyone else involved are more familiar with the standard CAR form.That being said, I've had plenty of people ask me to draft custom purchase agreements to use for making offers, so I know that occurs, especially with off-market wholesale transactions.

Given that I would receive a credit of .25% for being a current customer and for establishing autopay from the start, I anticipated anywhere from 7-7.5% interest rate after the underwriting process.

Most of my experience is in MF investing so Im not sure if its smart to run my ROI numbers based on a medical buyer/renter in 12+ months OR plan to gut and re-purpose as standard office space to cater to a larger customer base.Is there solid value placed on "grandfathered" special use medical zoning? 

The duplex, on the other hand, was custom-built for an heiress in the 1920s, remodeled and sold in 1945, and was poorly maintained and updated by a fool and his family from 1951 on as the neighborhood inexorably deteriorated from its high point in the 1940s.I've managed to get the county tax assessment for this duplex down by 33%.

BTW, fake cameras, signs, and decals are a great deterrent, are way cheaper and protect your customer's privacy. 

I've learned a great lesson.....I need to have more than one objective inspection, talk to more agents and customers of the particular company I am going to do business with, and I need to clearly see what the city requirements are for rental properties before I go forward with my next investment.
