So although way over-weighted in RE, I am only looking for better return on the balance of our holdings.

If they were, it would be a rather small task to program that computer or train those "minimum wage people" to set off warning bells anytime the payer on a mortgage account didn't match the original name on the loan.

I'm not talking about "guru program" books, selling only one part of the puzzle.

And since I'm not putting in any of my own cash or taking any significant risk, this is the way it should be.That said, if I had my own cash in the deal (either fully funding or partnering) or if I were otherwise taking on some risk of loss, I'd be looking for an equity split or a percentage of the profits.

classes allow you to track each property without having different accounts for each property, and you can create profit and loss reports for each property.

As far as HUD is concerned, not all departments that administer the program are run the same.

It does make sense that you want to over weight on where you get the highest ROI.

HAS ANYONE DONE A MASTER LEASE OR LEASE OPTION TO CONTROL A PROPERTY THEN RENT OUT TO SECTION 8 TENANTS GIVEN THE GUIDELINES FOR THE SECTION 8 PROGRAM?

CUT THEIR STINKING PROGRAMS!

I typically use this strategy for my clients who are able to deduct rental activities as passive investments and the accelerated deprecation does not put them over the threshold for the passive loss limitations.
