For instance San Antonio may be easy, and San Diego may be close to impossible for certain things in certain committees.

Also, has anyone self-closed before? 

Currently about to remodel one side of our duplex from a 2 bed/2 bath to a 3 bed/2 bath with upgraded mini split ductless HVAC system.We've been doing real estate investing for over 10 years and I'm close to finishing developing a land lording class for local landlords to learn from my mistakes of 10 years and similar to the BP mentality ensure landlords are raising the bar to push the less than reputable landlords out as we feel our tenants deserve better! 

We're close to the finish line on an out of state BRRRR project; since most of the BRRRR chatter is from people that are thinking about it or people that have something to sell (looking at you, Ohio crew), I'd thought that I'd share a realistic perspective. 

ASK your housing authority how long the wait for the initial inspection will take.My experience has been that you need to monitor these tenants more closely than others.  

Talk is talk, but valuations are based on closed sales not talk.

Authorities usually notify residents if it is close by and if they are dusting the prairie dog holes.

No, you cannot require tenants to get rid of legal service animals as they are considered part of a legitimate disability and thus more of a device than an animal.

It won't be 100% accurate, but it will be close enough.

Hint at taking legal action as well.
