If S8 is not rising annually you need to drop all S8 tenants and get out of the system.If there is no additional financial benefit to renting S8 ther eis zero incentiveto be in th eprogram...except maybe for disconnected landlords.

Looking for preliminary advice/feasibility study on an addition to a triplex in Denver (West Wash Park, U-SU-B2 zoning code).

In addition, I sent what is called a "goodwill letter" to the collections agency with the payment, essentially asking them to remove the derogatory mark.

Something else I recently learned is that banks and lenders are more willing work with me on loans and additional credit lines now that the business has been open almost 2 years now.

I'm about 7 days away from closing on my first real estate deal and the thought occurred to me that instead of wasting time (and closing costs) dealing with a bank for the initial loan, I could simply use myself as the source of "private money" for the entire purchase (~40k) for a home that I intend to rehab.The rehab is expected to take 3-4 weeks and I already have a reputable contractor with a written estimate in hand and the cost will be a ~25k additional (worst case) on top of that.  

I think this guy got me, it's only $500, but now he wants an additional $2500 for insurance, just seems like a scam, I wish I would have seen this post first.

Additionally, I have siblings in the Denver, Lake Tahoe, and Phoenix areas.

In addition to what  @John said, let me add one more reason why mentors charge fees:  When students don't pay any fee, there is little incentive to actually take the coaching offered seriously.
