Now if I am able to reduce the expenses to say 50%, by replacing resident management and staff with external property management, the property will cash flow nicely.However here lies the rub: in order to maintain the Section 8 subsidies there is apparently a budget which gets submitted to the Dept. of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), which accounts for all these expenses in their calculation of the Section 8 subsidies.

The tub was the type that also had the side walls as one entire piece so along with the tub that was cut out was the walls as well.I contacted the home insurance and was later told that they were unable to cover any costs associated with the replacement because it was considered "over a period of time damage" and not sudden.I was well aware of how to demo all of the old tub and to clear out the area but after that my youtube education began.

If it’s just the diverter valve that needs replacing, that can usually be done in about 5 minutes without damage.

Inexpensive and easy to replace.

As I understand, using this benefit would allow me to purchase a property of up to 4 units with no money down.I am wondering if anyone might have tips on good neighborhoods, local banks/title companies, RE Agents, etc.My short-term goal is to reduce costs of living by having my mortgage paid by tenants, then later using my disposable income to fund additional deals.

I've been involved in several lawsuits, both as an officer and a resident and I've NEVER been on the losing side in any of them.By-laws are just that, LAWS, as I told the guy who replaced me on my local board here.

Thank you for the tips.

I am looking for anyone in the area who might have any advice or tips for me, and even further someone who might be willing to chat on the phone or in person.

Can anyone recommended plumbing replacement companies in Dallas?

And thanks for the tip re: Douglas Realty.
