Now, I get my April water bill and it's $2500! 

Well it seems almost everything is an emergency to tenants, so if they call and we send someone out and it's NOT an emergency, they will billed.

@Bill Goodland @Parker SmithIt's unlikely to get any easier to put your team together without work on the horizon.

They are all still in my father's name, but I get the bills and pay them.The only thing I'm not paying is cable and internet because those are not essential. 

SpaceWhat pockets within these cities do you think best fits the bill?

@James Billings-Kang This is Buckingham Virginia.

Couple this with the urgency of an impending $35k tax bill in July (i have coached them on payment plans with the IRS) make it so that if they sell to a third party the would just rather go for a cash buyer who has offered them $580k.

Do you know if Section 8 would approve $850 if I make the tenant pay her own LG&E, which is the local electric/gas company (that bill would definitely put her over $870 all in)Or does the voucher price generally represent the max the tenant can pay including ALL utilities?

@Bill Brandt I hope you're not referring to me...

I know others who have gone into their branch as they need to pay bills and don't have internet.
