Need ideas on how to cut expenses

[Lisa S.]

hi all, 

I have 2 small multi family (4 units) and I am getting killed on expenses each month. They are averaging $3500 each month and that's before the bills are paid. Most of the tenants are section 8 and call for repairs to be made literally daily. I'm thinking about asking the property mgmt company to use American Shield or another type of warranty company to get a handle on expenses. Does anyone have any ideas on how to better control expenses under these circumstances?? All ideas welcome
