My background is that I've owned over 2000 homes and numerous apartments in Denver, Memphis and Florida.

People are moving here from all over the nation still. 

You've already paid us, and most Nationally Accredited groups make it an ethical violation to do repairs on a property we've inspected for a client (or to even give price quotes.)

I'm the Co-Founder of a national hard money lender for fix & flip properties and rental properties.

@Chad Hotovec,We have utilized smaller regional banks for our cash-out refi's.They are loans kept in house,usually called portfolio loans.Havent had much luck with large national banks but really haven't pursued them because we have built long term relationships with the smaller banks.Relationships is the key word.Plus some experience.Good luck with your first deal

We would really appreciate any local DC info on removing a unit from the Section 8 Voucher program and/or if there is a national rule that it takes 12 months to remove a section 8 unit from the program in every situation?
