Appreciate hearing from you.

Hey @Matthew Giblin! I'm based in the St. Loius area. What acquisition prices and rehab costs are you targeting? How do you plan to finance the acq/rehab and then when it's stabilized?

[Drew Sygit]

@Matthew Giblin you're highly unlikely to succeed if you spread yourself over 4 markets.

Recommend you do more research and just pick one of the 4 markets.

Then do a trial run and see how it goes. 

If it goes well, investo more.

If it goes poorly, figure out why and maybe you picked the wrong market, the wrong team or the wrong property Class. 

DM us if you'd like to discuss the Detroit market in more detail:)

I primarily do BRRRR projects and fill them up with section 8 tenants. I love the strategy and long term results. I would not spread in so many markets though. Find the one that you like and makes sense the most and become the leader there!

Very difficult to operate low income housing through 3rd party management, especially over an extended period of time. Most who succeed are really running a business and reach scale that provides some relief through efficiencies. You will be hard pressed to do this if you are spread through 4 separate markets. Perhaps pick one and focus on generating scale. The other advice is to pick the the market that has the best fundamentals. This means the neighborhoods that have the greatest chance of shifting to home owner neighborhoods.  If you are set on buying low barrier affordable housing, you want to be an investor.....you don't want to be running a business. They are two distinctly different things and that's what trips up most lower income housing investors.

Hi Matthew, I've done quite a lot of BRRRRs myself here in Columbus as an investor and for clients. Happy to connect and answer any questions you may have.

Hey Matthew,

I work a lot in the Detroit market, specifically on BRRRR projects and with Section 8 tenants. My team on the ground there handles everything from sourcing deals to renovation, and we've worked with hundreds of investors each year to make these properties cash flow.

We’ve built up some solid relationships in Detroit—whether it’s general contractors, agents, or property managers who understand the ins and outs of Section 8. I started investing locally and have kept expanding after moving out of state, so I’ve got experience navigating the challenges that come with investing from a distance too.

Detroit has its challenges but also some of the best potential for cash flow combined with affordable entry points. If you have specific questions or want to get into more detail, I’m happy to help.

Matthew,

I’d also suggest adding Chicago to the list. The city's appreciation, vacancy rate, cap rates are truly unparalleled when compared to the other markets you’ve mentioned. I have a strong team on the ground for any type of value add. I’d love to connect and discuss the numbers further.

[Stuart Udis]

Can we hear from individuals who have experienced sustained success buying section 8 rentals while relying on entirely 3rd party service providers? Has to be individuals  who own a large enough portfolio where they are not getting lucky relying on a small sample size. It is always service providers (Turn Key Operators, PM's, agents etc. etc.)  who are advocating for this strategy but normally crickets from owners. Just some food for thought...
