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.

@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...

It's an interesting thought because he would get the properties he originally purchased and improved back in case the investor does not pay the bills/mortgage/loans.Hope to talk soon and would love to get the link to the podcast Alex was referring to

(That includes me paying their bills and WiFi) I just figured that starting from a 4 bedroom house can reap much better reward, assuming I get 25 years of only interest, in them 25 years, I can build up my portfolio snowballing to a amount big enough to either pay off, or just give highly monthly payouts.

For example, I was quoted a 6.5% interest rate for a 30-year fixed LLC loan a few months ago when the 3/1 loans amortized over 30 years were billing at 5.5-5.75%.
