It was to help out lower income families but anyone could take it. It was two days. The first day was about the step by step process, loop holes, and warnings about things that could happen in the paperwork. <BR/><BR/>The second day we toured a HUDD home where we were to do basic home repairs. The tour taught us things to look for (rooms added on that didn't have vents, home repairs done by "Uncle Leibo" for the price of a six pack, etc.) He told us to turn on all water faucets and let them run while you're in the house and flush all the toilets.<BR/><BR/>Drive in the neighborhood on Friday and Saturday nights to discover is you have partying neighbors. Also drive to and from the house during rush hour. You may find bottle necks that aren't apparent during the time of a showing.rhonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06442369851499016473noreply@blogger.com
