New Section 8 investor

[Bob Martin]

Brand new to this, looking to get my first deal out of state through creative finance or subject to.  Want to use lending to cover down payment and other expenses.  Any advice for first time buyer on where to find private money and/or a good realtor/property managers in my area of purchase.  Also for those with section 8 experience, how much work is usually needed to pass inspection, how long is the property usually vacant for and where can I find assistance for the steps along the way and all the paperwork.  Thank you!
