A little dose of reality for those anxious to "get into the game".As a licensed Property Manager for about 12 years, averaging 500 units managed, in spite of best efforts there has been occasion to encounter a less than desirable tenant.

Then only thing about negotiating better rates from your property management company is if that market gets hit with high vacancies then guess who's units get rented last and also who's units get the least desirable tenants?

This presents an interesting "problem" of needing to keep our relationship active with them or to down-select and bracket them into the most desirable camp and the other camp.

Neighborhoods that once were desirable are not and ones that weren't are. 

After paying that down and off... no desire to be back in it again.

If you have the desire and drive you can do this as well.

Love for learning, intellectual curiosity, persistent desire to know, the hungry mind...call it what you want. 

While timing the purchase perfectly might be desirable, the truth is the right time is a personal decision.

Transactional People – pay attention to price and desire sales.

If you have a contract with the housing authority, and they have not exercised a termination within the context of that contract, I would first speak with housing and ask if they would like to pay out the contract over the next three months or in a single lump sum at the end of this month.If that does not produce the desired result, then you may wish to sit down with your attorney to determine your options and best course of action ... perhaps a letter from the attorney or a trip to small claims court may make sense.
