You can drive around town looking for properties that looks distressed, put up signs, let your friends/family know you buy houses, look online, etc. 

A ton of money is subjective. You're either gonna spend time or money.

Ive found the data to be inaccurate with all 3. I pulled a list of tax delinquent properties in my area. The majority of the list was wrong.

It could be accurate with other types of lists, but I didn't bother to check.

Is there a Veterans Chamber of Commerce in your area? If so, join it. You'll get a lot more information and they will help you if it's possible.

Whoever you spoke to on the phone mislead you. The Houston Housing Authority does NOT pay more than fair market rent. In fact, they usually pay less if the property is in an expensive area.

30% is an average. Some tenants pay more, some pay less. How much HHA pays will depend on a few factors like income, number of children, etc.

Attend one of their online information sessions. The instructor will go over the program and answer questions at the end. You can find the schedule on their website.

Quote from @David Ramirez:

Hey @Elie Merisier

In a city like Ft. Lauderdale, it will take you thousands of letters before you get your first property because of the competition there. Lower costs? If you send postcards, it will probably cost you half the price that you are currently paying for letters. 

Good luck! 


Thanks David.

As of right now, Im using usps to send my mails out. Do you know any other mailing services that is cheaper?


 Gobigprinting is the cheapest I've found.
