While this may seem inconvenient, I actually get 1 full month of extra rent/year this way.

First lender offer: 3.25% Interest with PMI $38/monthSecond lender offer: 3.75% Interest with no PMIDoes it make sense to take the lower interest rate with a PMI and make extra payments over the next 2 years so I can remove the PMI early so I have a lower payment.

It costs a few extra bucks, until the claim happens, then it made you many extra bucks.They hybrid that is renovators risk, includes both builders risk (the renovations) and vacant dwelling (what you paid for at closing).  

@Cheyenne DavisGoogle Voice is a great economical way to set-up an extra voicemail account.

You want to see that they are truthful on their application.

(google search)understand you CANNOT ask extra rent beside the approved amount, and sometimes the voucher may include utilities which means the $1,400 on the voucher may be 250 for utilities and 1,150 for tenant portion + hud.also depending on tenants changing financials and family changes, the % amount paid by hud and tenant may change over time.i would give a call to local office and also find fellow landlords in the area already working with section8 to network with.you want nice,clean, durable but not very base level. section 8 tenants usually have choices so DO NOT BE A SLUMLORD.you are a nice professional provider of quality home solutions for nice tenants!

It would be a wonderful world if everyone could afford every safety device and had time to research them, but the truth is that sometimes you have to wait until time and money permit you to set up things for a large company. 

I used Listsource to create a list of 212 Absentee Owners with equity.I went driving for dollars for about a month and compiled an extra 20 contacts to mail.Then I used Google to compile a good letter I wanted to use as a mailerI used plain white printing paper with a red font (looks like handwriting)Bought stamps and labels at a discount from Ebay (and used Ebates.com for an extra 1% cash back)I also used a local company to print 200 one color one sided bandit signs for $185.03 total (free pickup, no shipping costs)And got H-stakes from Home Depot for roughly $0.30 each1st dealI got a call from someone way out in Lakeland, FL.

Not just in conversation, but by your actions too.Some people are searching for the greater truth.

Some companies have extra coverage that insures against loss of rental income from a bad tenant if you let them screen the tenant before they move in.
