Week of November 10, 2025The government’s back open, economic data is catching up, and housing is starting to show life again!

When the government shuts down, the Section 8 'guaranteed' payments can be halted. 

I like keeping property reserves in a brokerage account where I continuously roll them over into US Treasury T-bills at government auctions ranging from 1 to 6 months in duration.

The government demands that you list that on the forms.

The September 2025 U.S. employment report, delayed by the government shutdown, showed that employers added 119,000 jobs, more than double the expected 50,000.

How can Memphis government workers get away with something so disgraceful?

I have never accepted section 8 housing for the primary reason is I do not partner with someone who would be happy to see me fail, ie, the federal govt.

Ask yourself, why would the federal government pay MORE than market rent and waste our tax dollars?

And the posters unwavering belief that somehow these Feds are going to drop all investigations, prosecutions, politicking, taking coffee breaks, etc. and jump on their complaints putting the “full force” of the Federal government down on the subject company and its managers and feed them to the lions.   

You may be interested in some fresh data we came across.A 2025 study by the Federal Housing Finance Agency (FHFA) found that properties with ADUs appreciated 22% more than properties without them.
