Corner of Railroad Ave and Passaic St.Thanks!

Hi Latasha,Check out the Education section at the top of your screen.  

I am having the apartments painted and after painting it the contractor came back the next day to find that in certain sections the paint had started to run.

A great resource is the webinars section of the website. https://www.biggerpockets.com/proreplay

Do not cut any corners that makes any property to look better on paper.  

All contracts, options, or other devices not based upon a substantial consideration, or that are otherwise employed to permit an unlicensed person to sell, lease, or let real estate, the beneficial title to which has not, in good faith, passed to such party for a substantial consideration, are hereby declared void and ineffective in all cases, suits, or proceedings had or taken under this chapter; however, this section shall not apply to irrevocable gifts, to unconditional contracts to purchase, or to options based upon a substantial consideration actually paid and not subject to any agreements to return or right of return reserved.That appears to close the loophole. 

With good screening you can get quality tenants that arent section 8.  

The property is across from an apartment complex.There are mainly homeowners on the side of my property, across the road there are renters in the apartments, to be more specific, it is Section 8 although in a great city.

Maybe if you were doing the whole line or something but it sounds like you'll just be digging and replacing a small section.
