Our lawyer has been pushing back as there doesn't appear to be any legal reason given for doing this.

As part of the governmental push not to create high concentrations of underprivileged households in one location, which some argue creates a cycle of poverty, the Project Based Assistance contracts are no longer rewarded (the existing Projects that have HAP contracts can continue to operate and renew and there is a caveat that while no new contracts are rewarded you can transfer a contract from a facility where the owner does not wish to renew).

Multi is cooling from what I hear.Amazon and on line retailers are really starting to impact the commercial retail landlord ( big malls)some studies indicate over 2 billion surplus sq ft of commercial retail.High end is cooling in some markets  think Texas we are seeing that.. there is price push back from the buyer.other markets like what we are doing in Charleston is off the charts with prices rising 20% in one year on new builds...

I would not count on a lot of upward movement from here on out though I think many markets are at the top.. demand is still there no doubt but we are seeing push back on raising prices anymore.I also bought 11 New constructions in the mid 2000's for go zone bene's  and I had them put in scored concrete floors and they were brick homes.. other than hail damage these have been worry free .. the Go zone tax bene's sunseted on the recapture so I am selling them all.. they never went up and I am breaking even.. which is pretty good since I bought at almost the peak in 2006 ish.I read you other post.. your issues as is all issues with rentals is in PM it looks like and maybe you did not pick the more expensive less headache properties its common for many to pick the one's that look best on paper but then you soon realize they only do because they are not in the greatest areas.As for your Dallas stuff  TAX's and foundation issues just eat your lunch in Texas..

I buy cars with push button ignitions so I don't have to take a key out and turn it.  

It is a measuring stick made up by people on BP who most likely buy complete junk in really crappy, non-appreciating markets where there are so few retail buyers the majority of houses are sold to out of state investors thinking they are getting a smoking deal because they only see .5 to 1% rent to value ratios in their own market.I'd go as far to say I have conspiracy theories it was developed by a few turnkey providers lurking on here to push their product.
