We had it listed for 1250 per month but rented it for 1600 per month to a couple who's house exploded in a gas fire and insurance is paying extra because of the short 6 month lease.

If you find what is in your criteria, and feel it is a deal it may be worth spending the extra 150$ to turn on temporaly.

This provides extra protection for non-payment and potential damage.

I notice on the BP Rental Property Calculator there is a field for "Other Monthly Income" and the question mark icon gives "extra storage" as a possible example of such other income...I have a 3BR / 2.5BA Townhouse for rent @ approximately 1600SF with an 800SF partially finished basement.

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.

The day before closing it burns down.  

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

(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!
