As part of our initial offer, we included a clause requesting copies of the existing leases and proof of the past three months rent.

There are other Section 8 requirments like filling out the lease to meet their standards, knowing how to fill out the Request for Tenancy Approval(RFTA), and returning the HAP Contract.

Usually you could not change the rent before the end of their current leases.My advice: promise nothing, give them new address or online tool for payments, official letter (paper) that you are a new landlord and collect their concerns, needs, maintenance request.

What is the difference between following a member and sending a colleague request?

Once they are in, be responsive to their legitimate requests.

I sent you a connection request here.

First time posting so apologies if these specific questions make it a "mentor request" (not sure of the definition of that).I currently live in the Seattle eastside (HCOL area) and I'm considering a move out of state.

I have requested a copy of their agreement and will notify you if we want to move forward using this strategy, thank you for your reply!

Wondering if and/or how best to accommodate this request.

Also, the Limited 203k is the only version of the 203k that has a provision that MAY allow the contractor to receive 50% of the material cost up front, but that's only if the contractor can prove to the lender that they don't have strong finances and need $$$ and then the lender approves their request.
