Hey All - One of my tenants ran a load of laundry and forgot to put the disscharge hose in the utility sink for when the wash drains.

A lease usually states somewhere that items charged to the tenant (fees, utility bills, etc) are "payable as rent" or "payable before rent".

I fully intend to continue utilizing their services in the future.

Did it sustain damage?

If piti is $1100 and rents range from $1000 to $1200, conservative underwriting would use the lower of the rent range, we have $1100 rent - $1000 PITI - $120 PM  - $50 (vacancy) - $300 maintenance/cap ex - $50 misc (tax man, asset protection, book keeping, utilities that are not tenant responsibility such as for a slab leak, etc) is about negative $420/month. 

If you don't have it you can call your insurance company and ask them to email you the declarations pageRecent Mortgage Statement:2 Different Utility Bills: Gas, Electric, Cell Phone Bill, Cable, Garbage, any two utility bills.Copy of Mortgage Note all pages: Was included in your closing documents when you purchased the home.

.  -- If the units are the same footprint, then why not just do 50/50 on utilities for each side and 100% when one is vacant.

no I have not purchased the home yet -but I’m educated and working with a realtor who understands the process.1st- you have to be a recipient of a section 8 housing choice voucher /in the program and in good standing2nd you need to be in the rental unit and in the program for a year minimum3rd you must to be in a “participating housing authority” or PHA  because not all Housing Authority’s participate in this rent voucher -to -home mortgage voucher program4th it may ( or may not) require recipient  enrolling in an additional sub program called families for Self Sufficiency ( FSS) which has a class that teaches voucher holders how to use the voucher for a mortgage payment5th I’m working with a realtor who understands the process - has used it for dozens if not hundreds of clients. it’s going to be VERY hard for anyone unfamiliar with government processes  to get through it successfully. note I’m also utilizing  first time savings plans IDA‘s and local first time homebuyer grants and a USDA 502 direct low income Rural loan. and my own funds.All aid mentioned can be “stacked” to lower mortgage & create long term affordability.  

Fortunately, we did not sustain any damage or flooding from the storm.It's great to connect with a design and architecture professional in Sarasota.
