I’m fairly new to the self-managing/property management business and certainly new to dealing with section 8 tenants.I have a potential section 8 tenant who has inquired about one of my properties and they are in their opinion “disgusted” with the way the carpet looks however up until this point in my efforts of marketing the property I have not had one complaint concerning the carpet.That being said she has requested to rip out the carpet, in turn to replace the carpet with hardwood floors. 

Quote from @Tony Savage: Hello Haley,I sent you a request to connect. 

The city told us that all the owners of the 6 properties had to submit and sign a new subdivision application so that the city could issue permits and turn utilities on for the investors that were requesting it.

@Doug Kirk just sent a connection request.

You, potentially, aren't paying the 10% management fee, and 10-20% markup on all maintenance requests.

.- They had their corporate counsel review the lease and request a few changes.

As a final step, they requested an in-person appraisal to confirm the value of my current residence.

I paid for a appraisal after the lender requested it.
