@Drew Sygit maybe you misread or I didn’t properly explained.. surely I know Section 8 bares no responsibility while the tenant is gone, I was stating while she was still occupying the home, Section 8 cut off payments.Update: It was a mess but ultimately she was removed within the last month.

Well, to cut the story short, I found a beautiful 3/2 that's been being used as a rental.

So long story short, I am hoping to cut out one more person, get a better introduction to the industry and potentially broaden my network by being more technically competent in the industry. 

Ended up buying a jetter hose and tip for my pressure washer and going to town on it for 30 minutes straight.

You will get a bunch of opinions about what you SHOULD do, but YOU know what you should do. 20 year cuts some interest while still keeping the payment pretty low.

If you're contacting the appraiser directly from that website above, that means no appraisal management company taking a cut, so the net proceeds to the appraiser of, say, $450, isn't actually off what the net proceeds would be if you ordered an appraisal through a lender and paid $600.

Personally, I like it, especially with the lawn care, because the properties look better with our professional crew and are cut and trimmed on a regular basis, which is easier on the lawn.  

I know they talk about this from time to time on the BP Podcast (and not usually in a positive light)...I took $$ out of my 403B for the down payment on the house WHICH will be repaid very soon after my ex-wife sells the house which we still own (my cut of that sale will more than cover the loan I took against myself...so all good).

I should add that the lease that the tenant signed states that the tenant shall: Cut the grass and maintain the shrubbery.

Otherwise, you'll be like the masses of other wholesalers who are terrible, cut corners and screw people over.
