A man dependent on others for a living could never be truly free, nor could a dependent class constitute the basis of a republican government.

I am wondering if a landlord of a 3500sq/ft, 4unit, section 8 compliant property can program the furnace thermostat to a specific temp (say, 70 degrees) and tenants wouldn't be able to run the bill up?

If the data is dodgy, or the sift and sort is not up to snuff, you get very bad results very quickly.Data for ongoing obligations is reported reasonably well as it is all programmed into the monitoring software.

@Jack Thanadabouth Ah the Heroine Thoroughfare, Im partial to small towns vs GB or MKE be very researched on Green Bay, a lot of investors have frantically exited that town after some changes in city Government. there are plenty of opportunities in that corridor.As far as lenders, if you stay with duplex or singles< the rental experience is less of an issue.  

In Missouri, the attorney general has a guide:https://www.ago.mo.gov/docs/default-source/publica...and in St Louis (where I own properties) there is a landlord guide:https://www.stlouis-mo.gov/government/departments/...Tower Grove Neighborhoods Community Development Corporation has landlord training classes with different topics - evictions is the topic in March.

The FHA 203k renovation loan program provides funds for both the purchase and renovation of a home packaged into one mortgage loan.

All they do is lending on real estate, and have lots of different programs and products.

I'd suggest also looking into any down payment assistance programs provided through your local community/city.

They also pay for administrative costs such as updating the HOA home owner’s directory, billings and collections, covenant enforcement, routine legal costs, maintaining a web site, posting HOA governing documents on the web site, administrative staff, and other operational costs.

Let me know how things are in AC, I really considered it an interesting real estate position a few years ago but now am less certain as the NJ state government prepares to take ownership of the current situation.
