I would let her stay.Enjoy the decrease in credit risk offered by government now assuming the payor position.Good tenants offer value beyond their cashflow.The certainty they provide, in a business otherwise full of gotchas, let's one focus attention on higher value opportunities in business.Lastly, judging from thoughtful advice you offer of a personal nature on BP podcasts, I suspect asking her to leave will eat at you karmically.Stand in front of a mirror and imagine telling your favorite math teacher that you've grown up to be the kind of person who is so successful that you ask old lady tenants to leave after six years of great tenancy because their finances weakened to the point that they needed section 8 assistance.It is a business but there is room in it to be thoughtful broadly in the way that Bruce and Michelle Fischer approach it.The contribution you make to your tenant and your community by letting her stay will be paid forward to you in some other way in the future.I would let her stay.

Then you have to do CE every 3 years 30 hours plus post license 10 hours.If you don't have clients and doing only your own properties, you won't have much experience.We can assume that you'll know your market if you're looking for a deal and then check out all your comps when listing your flip.However, the agent is a third party and usually will give you an honest opinion of the value.It's very hard to negotiate for yourself - you can't be emotionless.When I'm selling/renting my own properties, I'm much more emotional and can miss a good offer just because of offensive low ball offer.With my clients properties I do negotiate much better.One more example: I was pre viewing today a comp to my listing.
