Little paint and the contractor I found let me buy the material and only charged me labor.

bottom line  BAD ACTOR GUILTY as charged is my thoughts.

We embrace S8 applicants, but screen them just like any other applicant.Many have an entitlement mentality and try to leverage their S8 voucher by pretending to be helpless:1) A percentage won't apply because they expect a landlord to waive application fees for them.2) Many cry broke and expect a landlord NOT to charge them a security deposit.3) Many of those same S8 tenants trying to avoid paying a security deposit, won't make an effort to call the list of nonprofits we send them that will pay their security deposit if they apply.4) A lot of them try to avoid paying for utilities.

They will charge you money, but getting this on their credit report is a strong motivation for them to pay.

I listen to RE podcast pretty frequently and Marco's was one of them I used to listen to up until a few months ago. 

The only good use I can see of the fees are based on rent charged would be for a tenant to purchase it and charge themselves $0 or near $0 rent to avoid the rent based charges. 

Then I wrote 3 books, became the person in charge of education in my REI and had to produce presentations every month (at least 2) for it, and before I knew it,...It's not as hard as you think, at least it was for me. 

I’ve had great experience with private landlords in the past, and have found fellow pet lovers that didn’t charge pet rent, or accepted my larger dog (when he was alive) to live in an apartment without hassle.

Some of these bookings we get through marketing partners who build these relationships and charge referrals fees for finding the housing.

I hear frequently getting financing for container home type projects is tough if not fairly impossible vs traditional construction financing, so wouldn't that take more capital?
