The inspector told me there is a new smoke detector requirement for Section 8 homes coming January 1:https://www.congress.gov/bill/117th-congress/house-bill/7981...https://www.us-hc.com/blogs/new-smoke-detector-requirement-f...Has anyone heard of this? 

For example, they would inspect your place (required) and say a smoke detector has been be moved a few feet, and then the electrician would quote a high rate because they knew it was required.  

If you do keep these, make sure to install carbon monoxide detectors in the house (really should be in any house that has any gas appliance).

Upon meeting with the tenant I advised them of the repairs I would be making (new A/C, Clearing bushes, sealing back area, painting handrails, adding smoke detectors and fixing toilet and bathtub caulking) and the amount I would increase their rent the following month and thereafter ($50/mo). 

Very location specific and usually towns under certain sizes don't require them.Here, they're not too bad, but there's always little things that we'll get dinged on that we may overlook, such as a handrail having a return, a smoke detector in just the right spot, a hole in a screen, etc.

Ok starting to get a bit of motion on a possible Zoom.

I also use Kwikset 910 Z-wave with Qolysys Panel/Controller provided by Livewatch (they do my security) I have my thermostats and smoke detectors synced, it's awesome. 

Many jurisdictions require CO detectors in multi's, and while they are treated casually in many instances, and an imposition on landlords in some cases they can still make a difference. 

I disclosed to my lender that the Wholesaler was making 5k so then it made me look like I was lying to my lender when the HUD clearly showed the Wholesaler was making 15 KI recently had another transaction where a Wholesaler renegotiated a lower price after the fact.I’m assuming that where the wholesalers have that ability to make that extra is that they are naming the price that the buyer is willing to pay and not necessarily naming the dollar amount that they are assigning their contract for so this gives them the leeway to keep trying to get a lower price from the original seller, even after the fact of going through the motions of transferring their rights to the property to a new buyer.

In the mean time I will put up some motion detecting, LED battery operated lights.
