What's the saying? Best time to buy real estate was 10 years ago and the next best time is today! It is never too late to start you just have to adjust your goals/expectations. What is the reason you want to invest in real estate? When you figure that out the best path will make sense.

Hey Monte- Congrats on starting to take the leap. Most people will likely tell you to get out and go to RE meetups in your area. This may be true and could work for you but I have never. Whether it be podcasts, books or BP forums education is key. Ask questions on here and learn learn learn.

Best of luck on your journey!

Wow that is surprising in a place like Canton. I have had several investors leave North Canton because of the new restrictions but I have not heard any bad stories about Canton. Come to Akron! :)

No an agent is not needed if you know what you are doing. If you are starting out, which I assume since you asked this question, you should find a local investor friendly agent to assist you.

Quote from @MARK S KING:

Hello, any input on the best market for section 8? Looking for a way to analyze the highest allowance from Sec8 vs the lowest priced homes, wondering where you can get the most bang for your buck. I have heard the target is at least 400-500 per month net positive cash flow based on 20% down. Where are you seeing opportunities? Thank you!


 Not sure there is a BEST , however I just got 875 for a 2 br all in 60k, and 850 for 1 br in ,my apartment building in East Cleveland, so 20% net caps pretty good


 You should be able to get a lot more than $875 for a 2 bedroom S8 property.
