RE: Steemit Open Mic Week 89 - Resolve - Original music by @darrenclaxton
The two properties she was at are in Atlanta, all she does at those properties is check their HUD compliance. She was at one in Athens today, she's had a crazy week.
The properties are not in the greatest neighborhoods but, it's definately better than where you're at and better managed than AHA. One catch they are 62 and older properties, they do have some exemptions around disabilities etc. you would have to check with the on-site people.
I personally think this is the nicer of the two, and a bit better neighborhood.

Thanks @coinsandchains, you may not understand Yet. I will be 63 this Aug. I am disabled in a mild
Sort of way; my SS disability is for my hearing!
(How odd is that?)♫♪☺♫♪ as a result, I get
About $635 per month of usable income.
Therefore I live in this place, in two rooms.
The measurements were done by me, as was this diagram, so things are approximate
Just TWO ROOMS.. with all my stuff, keyboard,
Electronics (two computers, one here for regular
Work, and one dedicated for music) my TV...all that
In the "living room" which connects to the bedroom
Via a hallway/kitchen that leads to the bathroom,
Which is adjacent to the bedroom. my RENT is
set by my income, which is only my disability
Checks, they don't count my music income,
Which used to exceed my SS income by a
Lot.
Hence I feel they are defrauding us and the Gov't.
My rent is $9 per month! yet I pay $105 with added
Fees; Water/Sewer/Garbage is now $90 per month.
Somehow, I feel that should be covered in their
Contract with the Gov't. The HUD rent for this
Apartment is set at $650 per month, (which I
Think is excessive for 2 rooms in the ghetto)
I think that $90 fee (that just went up from $77) goes to paying the various salaries of the few, very few
Staff. They've given themselves a raise. imo
Well definitely check into those. They have all kinds of stuff going on. I think most of their properties have utilities other than phone/internet included. My Wife's property (Branon Lodge in Blairsville GA 2+ hour from you) even has "Guest Wi-Fi" throughout the property (they have a 6 month to 2 year waiting list).
It's always been strange to me how they do the rents, and market rent on a lot of HUD properties is more than $1000, but most people pay way less.
