Some may have been holding back, like GE, BoA, Boeing, who have held off in an attempt to keep employment low for political reasosn (so long as it didn't really cost them anything).

There's a reason many contractors are self-employed.

While responsible for a relative small portion of the rent and their utilities, participants are encouraged to find employment (and the VA will sometimes help; some of our food service workers were on this program) and save their finances until, eventually, they are able to become independent and no longer need the VASH voucher.  

Watch for announcements of major employers moving into the area.  

There are very narrow methods that used to work when correctly employed, but unless the end lender/servicer has full licensure it would now be an illegal transaction.

So you're going to pay interest on money that you're not re-employing, right? 

Only 2 employers, court house and ywengling.

On their side, on top of what I suspect was a lack of gainful employment and poor credit (inherited tenants) for at least one of the tenants, they would have gotten an eviction on their record.

I am currently full time employed as a software engineer.My experience with real estate involves buying several homes that I have used a my primary residence, and selling my first home by owner.  

I am not employed at the moment, although my wife earns mid 60s and we have 660'ish credit scores with a BK7 on record 2 years ago.I live in South Florida, near Fort Lauderdale in Davie and established a non-profit a few years ago with intent to rehab/flip houses or possibly build on vacant land given by a local city top develop on.Aside from that, I am hoping to meet someone form the area who has been "down this road before" and would maybe be willing to at a minimum have lunch with me to give me some professional advice.Anyhow, nice to "meet" everyone!
