can you get subsidized through section 8 or some other government program?

Thanks to everyone for your input. I wrote all the companies down, and ill try review all of their details. @Samantha Soto I actually bought my unit from ed. geri was helping me through the process. (awesome family)

@Lee Smith ill definitely get in contact with you, and check out your website. 

hopefully after this whole situation is squared away, I can get back to my RE goals and look for more units. 

@Neil Goradia thanks. I wasn't aware of that technique. good idea.

@Gautam Venkatesan will do. Thanks!

I bought a duplex by the children's museum and got BHB Investments as my management company. one side of the property is rented out for $750, and the other side vacant. 

right after they took control there was a "large leak" in the kitchen which was right under the $250 amount needed for them to notify me about. no pictures, or any other proof; just a bill. okay..

after a few months with no showings I looked up the property on Zillow, and trulia, and there were no pictures on the ad. after a discussion, they added pictures.i also told them to cut the rent to $700.

after about a month I checked again, and they never lowered the rent. after a discussion, they lowered it to $700..

after almost 5 months I've been trying to get them to list ads in LOCAL places (bulletins, news papers, social media, etc) I don't mind lowering the rent a bit more, but I feel like I'm lowering the rent because they are just to lazy to do any real work??

I just got notification that I owe another $330 for a "rat problem". once again, no proof of any sort. just a bill. 

so my question: any good companies out there that are not above the 10% fee, or should I just expect to pay a higher percentage for good service in indy?

Thanks

 Anyone know of any property management companies who will do more than input your property into app folio to get it rented?(e.g.. craigslist, local papers, local bulletins)  I have one of the mentioned PM companies above, for the last 4 months. not very impressed. 

I am closing on my first property now that is projected to cash flow on its own. I also save about 1K a month from my full time job. Is there a way to convert this slowly incoming money into a lump sum for a down payment without committing perjury?
