This is one of those weeks where the headlines will try to pull your attention in ten different directions.Manufacturing data.Employment numbers.Retail sales.Jobless claims.The full jobs report Friday.Here’s the development that actually deserves your focus:The Department of Housing and Urban Development is proposing a rule that would allow local housing authorities and landlords to impose time limits and work requirements on Section 8 rental subsidies.What’s being discussed:• Time limits as short as two years• Work requirements up to 40 hours per week• Elderly and disabled tenants exempt• Adoption left to local housing authorities and participating property ownersRoughly 9 million Americans receive federal housing assistance.Supporters argue rental aid isn’t an entitlement and that time limits could promote mobility while freeing up vouchers for families stuck on long waiting lists.Critics argue most recipients who can work already do — wages simply haven’t kept pace with rent — and strict limits could increase housing instability during a period of record-high costs.The proposal is being published today and will be open for 60 days of public comment.Now zoom out.Housing is not a luxury product.It is infrastructure.When affordability tightens, policy pressure builds.

You won't believe how many times I went through my gmail search and sent a deal to an account executive, just because they promoted that they offer a certain program that my current pool does not offer.

Give the hospitals a discount to incentivize promotion to incoming staff.

You can promote the listing for a small fee and on Zillow you can also run a "Special" for free.  

Online marketing / promotion - $10,000 +5.

If a promoter cannot generate enough revenue to pay investors 18% annually and knew this at the time of funding, it constitutes a material misrepresentation.

I'm curious to know how you all promote or market the unit to get tenants.
