Pros: higher cash flow, guaranteed rent from the housing authority as long as you’re not in violation, tenants usually stay longer than private renters, and the regular Section 8 inspections help keep the property in decent shape from the many inspection reports I've seen.Cons: Inspections can sometimes be a headache, delays move.

Totally agree on what people want: I am also experiencing a fair amount of Owner/Landlords- especially investor clients building good sized portfolios - wanting more customization on repair authority limits and communications.

A "power of sale" clause is the clause in a deed of trust or mortgage, in which the borrower pre-authorizes the sale of property to pay off the balance on a loan in the event of the their default.

The excess payment will go to principal and will change the interest/principal percentages.For instance, if you refinance at year 15 and get a new loan with a lower rate and a 30yr amortization, then the new monthly payment will be significantly less than the original payment.

And they should speak with government authorities as well.  

@Collin Hays read up on cost segregation to understand how you can depreciate 35%+ the first year of STVR operation and use excess write offs to offset other income because of material participation.

Resident will not authorize any work to be performed without the express written consent of Owner.As the tenant is on a fixed income, and is a single mom with kids (including a toddler in diapers), I ended up telling the tenant to pay $50 per month for 8 months to cover the cost. 

I just started on a Reliant Continuous Service plan that automatically turnt he electriucity into my name when some one moves out and I authorize it.

If a Section 8 applicant comes along, the Housing Authority will conduct its inspection and notify you of its approval.
