A HUD housing voucher should be viewed as income that would count towards your “standard income qualification” for potential tenant applicants.

Load properties, market them, screen some fake applications, move the person in, accept rent, edit the ledger, enter/track maintenance, how does it handle tenant communication, run all the reports to see if they provide the information you want in a professional manner, etc.You'll narrow it down to a clear winner, then jump all in and use it.

That means the owner with more expensive properties will have fewer well qualified applicants. 

You just create a form with the relevant information like date, address, applicants, amount etc.YOU OR YOUR COMPANY accepts "HOLD DEPOSIT" monies from Applicant(s) as a non refundable intent to rent fee for the property listed above and funds will be deposited into a deposit account serviced by an agent for Owner.  

In some areas of the country, waiting list for voucher applicants exceed three years.How to proceed- Since it sound like you have experience with HUD, you are probably aware that each unit and the property as a whole needs to be inspected prior to a tenant be able to rent.

You look at all factors that you believe pertain to your specific property, do you have other tenants, is it a quiet building, do your tenants work nite shifts, will young families with children be a good fit etc. etc.I know someone is going to jump in with the usual "fair housing" cry but you need to consider whether the applicant will fit with other tenants or if they may destroy your property etc. 

I do know that general terms and language in notes and deeds of trust contain provisions for acceleration of the debt, unless it is prohibited by applicable law.  

We're also beginning to see more older, 65+ applicants who are being forced to cut expenses to live comfortably.

The current tenant has been in there for 3 years and is always right at the last day of the grace period with her payment, she struggles to make the current payment of $1750 and is probably at her max.I know she will say she wants to stay and will agree to an increase but I doubt she can afford it.I'd like to treat her like a prospective tenant and require a new application to have a better look at her finances.

If they wanted to put in an application, I gave my email out to the people at the open house only.
