Joel, Sec 8 tenants can make up a difference over the entitlement to market rates but it can not exceed a third of their income.And Joel is correct in that FMR can be adjusted and less can be allocated for your property, but you can also opt out of Sec 8 before such rate changes take effect as they will be paid to the end of the lease term.

What should you allocated for a messy eviction?

It is typically just a preference that they wish to focus on their HUD allocation of properties (their bread and butter), and do not wish to participate with more involved A-B-C transactions.

CRIME is a big one.The percentage of non-violent to violent infractions and if crime is increasing or decreasing in the immediate area.Intermodal transportation study is another and the future land use map.This will give you an idea of where they are today and what they have planned for the area in the future and how the city and county will be allocating their resources to develop certain areas.Much more items than this but it's been a long day and my brain is out of fuel........ :)

You're allocating $285 per month for unpredictable expenses, which seems high to me.

If you rent out a vacation property for at least 15 days in a given year and your personal usage is limited to 14 days or 10 percent of the time it is rented (whichever is greater), then the property is considered rental property so you receive the following benefits:- All business expenses (including mortgage interest, property taxes, insurance, advertising, and maintenance) can be deducted against rental income received on the property - If the total expenses are less than the gross rental income, the resulting profit is taxable income - If the total expenses exceed gross rental income, the resulting loss can be used to offset income from other investments From a fractional perspective, how many days it is available for rental obviously depends on the number of fractions that have been allocated.
