there are alot of cities passing regulations on denying section 8 applicants as a form of discrimination. 

So far the best applicant for the apartment is someone with a small dog (I can live with scratched floors)... and a cat.

What kind of software do you use?

I solve it by asking to see grades when they submit an application. 

So, my next challenge is to figure out how to finance the deed application and pay for all the back taxes on these properties.

If you are looking for easy software to model returns and CAPEX, I highly recommend Real Estate Tools.

If you CAN personally appraise that house because you’ve studied accurate and applicable SOLD comps for the last 4 months and have inspected it in person closely enough that you KNOW it’ll appraise low or high then this becomes and easy question to answer.

Most landlords will want to pass that along to the tenant so build it into their application process.

It may have been a vetting issue but they all passed screening and a decent application process.

How do they view applications to change zoning (tendency to DENY vs consider APPROVAL?).
