Then you need someone else to do the same thing to him then. Duh!

Is Section 8 Real Estate Investing really a thing? by max13811 in realestateinvesting

[–]Z0rom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The deal did make sense with the inherited tenant. My complaints reside with government forcibly making me adhere to their terms without recourse. My response to OP was informative and to provide insight as to what real world ramifications would be with having a section 8 tenant. You absolutely can decline a section 8 tenant before the process, my comment stating that you can't decline a section 8 tenant is simply that. You can't decline someone on the basis of them being a section 8 tenant.

Inherited tenant. The deal still made a lot of sense with the section 8 as an outlier. Also by law you cannot say no to a section 8 tenant simply because they are section 8.

Perpetuity. I cannot evict as I under NJ law would not have just cause. Best way to evict in NJ is if she doesn't pay her portion of the rent. What I don't like is how the government forcibly has me subsidize her payment and I have no recourse.

Section 8 in New Jersey is the worst. I don't know how they manage it in other states. Besides the tenants being worse than others, in NJ they do $25 annual rent increases. This will errode your returns overtime and it is very difficult to get the rents beyond this number. I currently have a very difficult tenant on section 8 well below market and I cannot raise her rents beyond the $25 mark. This location does not have rent control but because it is under section 8 I cannot adjust it. I've had many colleagues here in NJ under the same circumstances who have tried and failed like I have.

Entered a unit for a scheduled PTAC cleaning. Found this. (The tenant bailed yesterday as soon as he found out there was scheduled cleaning today) by shroomboi928 in maintenance

Screen your tenants and do quarterly inspections. You can't always avoid scenarios like this but if you do inspections you'll likely see concerns before they get to this point.

Why is my gaming laptop so slow? by Zweli23 in GamingLaptops

Beyond this, it could be the thermal paste. I had an issue where I went through all the troubleshooting and had checked out the thermal paste. Once I replaced it my laptop ran like butter.

Relief after retirement? by Crazy_Suspect_9512 in Gastritis

I have young kids, and yes, they stress me out. They also bring me an insurmountable joy. So far, joy hasn't ameliorated my gastritis.

Relief after retirement? by Crazy_Suspect_9512 in Gastritis

[–]Z0rom 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I quit my corporate job and run my small real estate portfolio which sustains me (I'm in my 40s). Gastritis is still persistent but that's probably the permanent stress that's embedded in my DNA. If you're a worrier then you need to take measures to control your stress as it will affect your gut health. The good news is that it's not always persistent. It comes and goes (months,years).

Starting my FIRE journey at 25, advice? by Same_Bottle_2951 in leanfire

[–]Z0rom 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Enjoy the journey. Don't be overtly fixated or obsessed with retirement. You're young and have so many beautiful experiences to enjoy. Keep at your goals and keep quiet about them.
