Hey Robin.  Same neck of the woods.  Nice to meet ya.

it takes me about a month after I find a section 8 renter and she turns in her request to the sec 8 office.  The sec 8 inspector for this area is very difficult to work with.  He will wait till about 3 days before move in to inspect the house.  It either passes, or I'm scrambling to get things fixed and re-inspected.  But, my section 8 renters are my best renters and they stay for a long time. 

Hello Everyone.  I have been a member here for several years but do not post a lot.  That is about to change.  I am 38 and own a company named Galveston Co. Rentals.  I own 20 rental homes.  I have started moving homes into the Sec. 8 system and love it.  I am looking to transition away from housing and into office space or strip centers.  I am not super knowledgeable because this is not a full time job for me.  I am a chemical plant inspection and play with real-estate on the side.  I will share information for a cup of coffee, hopefully save others money that i lost learning.  Thanks for letting me be a part of your community.

Hey Everyone, I am a long time lurker and I have a question about filing a judgment in Galveston Co.  Recently we had a tenant not pay, so they moved out without hassle.  Which their quick departure was great till we went through the home.  They left it a wreck not to mention they broke their lease about 6 months early.  I have turned homes around before, got them on the market, no bid deal.  I have never sought to file a judgment because I don't have a lot of faith that I will ever get my money.  I feel the same way in this situation, but I am going to give it a shot.  My question is - How long do I have to file in Galveston Co.  Can I go back on people that really damaged my homes 3 years ago or is it a 1 year and done situation.  Also, if anyone in the local area has any experiences with filing in Galveston County, any info would be much appreciated. 

I know about the search engine, I have been using it for the past few hours and learned a lot. 

Thanks for your time
