I am not sure whether to tell them this upfront in the "Notice to Vacate" as an incentive to do no further damage... or discuss it during a walk through.

Since it's month-to-month wouldn't it make more sense to just give the 30-day notice that I will not be renewing the lease?

Save a good cash position while you are out here. 

One thing I did seem to notice that I'd like to point out, is that the properties I did look at for renovating had significantly higher CapEx, not to mention renovation costs, that made it more costly than simply a property that needed no-to-less work. 

Premise: future payout makes it worthwhile to forego current positive cashflow.

(It's a problem because more people will ultimately be turned off by real estate than those who are positively impacted by it). 

Hello Tyler, in my experience sec 8 comes everything mentioned above, the positives money is always on time, sec 8 portion. 

The question is, how does the broker have to be connected to the company within the entity for us to legally be able to operate in the state.Can they be in an advisory position (Board of Directors) or do they have to be a partner with equity.

I understand the general concept but I am not comfortable enough yet with the details to accurately explain the positives and potential negatives to my client.

You are after a door handle that is always in the locked position or rigid.
