interesting - i just got a call from them looking to add me as a referral partner.  

 Dude you're not kidding. I just tried to get it and no matter where I go I get sent to a paywall - even though supposedly it is available with the free account i registered with.  

I've found that the payment standards are sometimes quite a bit higher than what I'm seeing as actual rent for an area.  In these scenarios - does affordable housing tend to go with the actual market rent? Or do they allow closer to what is listed in the payment standard rate?  I'm worried about buying my first section 8 investment - and the rent being much lower than what is advertised on the section 8 payment standard.  thanks! 

Won't be able to make this one - but hope to hit the next one in May. 

Great question/answers :) 
I dove into REI about ~2 months ago (this is my first post on here!). I've read about a half a dozen books so far, BRRRR sounds very interesting. I'm hoping to head to the next RI Real Estate Investing group meetup in May (can't make it to the one tomorrow unfortunately).

I've been watching auctions pop up in my nearby area, drive to them, see how they look, see what they go for, etc.  I've also been looking into apps to help me with my funnel (deal machine, propstream, etc.). I'm also working on learning to analyze deals.  

Overall - just trying to become experienced enough with the process to pull the trigger on a first property.  Given the market - and my lack of experience - I may have to wait for a larger dip/correction - but if something pops up that seems to work once I have confidence that I know somewhat what I'm doing - I'll hope to grab my first property.  

Given we are both in RI - hope to see you around!
