Got that unit approved for Section 8

May 31st, 2016 at 11:29 pm

Hi all

Turned out I got that house approved for Section 8 after having been previously pulled from the program. There were some very minor fixes (new screen door, screw on circuit breaker covers) to be done per the inspector and then the lease will be signed and she will move in. This will likely be another very long term renter which would be great.Target move in is Friday.

No takers on the vacant apartment but that lady is moving out today and it will be truly vacant tomorrow. We have an application pending and several more showings set up so it should rent soon. Hoping the existing application works out. Apparently the unit is in very good shape and should need no major or minor fix up . just a little cleaning.

We have one other guy in the 3 units whose lease ended 4/30 but he said he wanted to stay and sign a 6 month lease. We said either sign a year or move out and gave him 2 months to decide and during that 2 months he can pay $50 more. We will force the issue this month and either get him on a 9 month or longer lease or get him moved out so we can rent to someone else. I do not want to sign a 6 month lease that ends in December.

and then no other renewals until September and no large work needed.. so hoping to pile on the cash flow. I suspect that many of the 'later lease endings' will renew too.

All real estate tax 1st payments made

I have about $4k more to 'pay back' the rental emergency fund. I will let the rents pay the rest of that back and estimate that happening in 3 months so my savings will continue in earnest starting next paycheck. My savings comes from my W2 income. All rental monies stay in the LLC at this point.
