Does anyone have any experience with Housing Authority Auctions ?

The difference with market rents is you need to ask the housing authority to grant the rent increase.

The Housing authority will require you submit as a new payee and put the tenant in a new 12 month lease.  

@Josh Coup Even if your agent isn't the ultimate authority, they might defer to their broker who would hopefully be able to provide a relatively accurate ARV. 

I’m currently the Bigger Pocket book “BRRRR” and the author states that to really get a good bang for your buck you should save $60-$80k and buy your first prop cash.

She was going to report me to the authorities if I rent to someone else. 

These issues were so dumb I never would have thought to ask about them), such as:  if you evict someone, and they bolt, YOU the landlord have to pay a certain moving company (apparently the only one in pittsfield authorized by the city to handle this endeavor) to move the tenant's belongings into storage, until such time as your loser tenant finds another place to live, and then, YOU have to pay for their stuff to be professionally moved again, AND you have to pay for something like 3 months worth of storage!!!   

@Greg DickersonYes I’ve attended several local REI meets and have read some books already from BiggerPockets authors.

I’d imagine you’d need authorization from the owner to turn on the utilities even if you’re paying for them.

I have saved millions and it also gives you authority and credibility with sellers especially when you tell them you are an investor first.
