It's cheaper to buy a house in S.

It may be a cheaper option than getting an option contract specially drawn up by your own people.

But I see what you are saying on the misc. charges that we will have to consider for the current townhome... like umbrella insurance, LLC (for asset protection), utilities, vacancy backup, etc. those would ideally increase the monthly expense by about $300 (or probably more).Seems like a TRICKY situation for us, I guess....

The initial charges would be assault with a deadly weapon and or attempted murder, or murder.

I am still rehabbing but as you know the retail market isnt doing so well but hey I am buying properties a whole lot cheaper (big smile on my face).

So the more people you can legally fit in a house the more rent you can charge, and the rent usually goes up around 3-5% a year.I am currently looking for a rental, have found some that should cash flow but I am holding off to find better deals in this market.That article from the WSJ also had some good advice... schools with rising attendance, in big cities and who don't guarantee housing to all students is a big one.

if it is free of charge then they will get interested...

I have elected to take charge of everything to ensure that the land is properly handled, farmed well, and produces a stable income that can provide for both my sister and I.I'm sorry if you happen to be a parent who's children have not appreciated what you've done for them, or you do not believe can handle what you have spent your lifetime building, and if it obviously your choice to do what you want with your money.

If you read the HAP contract you signed with Section 8, you would see that you are specifically prohibited from charging more than the authorized rent.

For example:You can not charge too much rent for a given appartment (max would be app 600,= EUR/month)You can not evict renter: renter protection is really extremeYou can not raise yearly rent by more than the inflation rate (this year 1.6%)Most mortgage's are guaranteed by a special fund in case of defaultI'm targetting on appartments with after repairs value 100.000,= EUR (give or take).
