Section 8 wants to provide the tenant with a clean, safe home.  

Do you involve an attorney in the process?

I've done the rehab all myself so far with the exception of contracting out the new HVAC installation and electrician and I've gained a great deal of experience and appreciation for what is involved.

Hi Ruben,     I'd get involved in a networking group in the area.

Our neighboring landlords were so grateful for us cleaning up the place that one of them surprised us with a new roof for the overhang on the front porch while he was having his roof redone!! 

I used to be very hands-on involved, and loved it, but my health has made that extremely difficult.  

I'm interesting in looking at markets in other cities and would like to get involved in multi-family properties and as I continue to learn begin innovating.The ultimate goal for me, like with many, if not most, others, is to attain financial independence as well as security.I'm super excited to get involved and learn as much as I can within this wonderful community!

Having said all of that, I can see why getting involved would be wise as soon as one actually started in the business...

I don't mind showing a house while we are still painting or cleaning or repairing. 

Hello Everyone,My name is Eric and I am an aspiring to get more involved within bigger pockets and the real estate community.
