@Joe Splitrock I was actually notified by a BP moderated and they did explain that to me as well. Guess I’m miss understanding the pro membership. I didn’t think I would qualify since I am not a real estate agent or a hard money lender. I’m just investor. 

I’ve been a member of the BiggerPockets community for over six years now but haven’t been too active until here recently. August 2021 I purchased my first investment property. And plan on doing more this year. 

I would like to promote or advertise on the BiggerPockets forums. I tried this already and my post was taken down within 24 hours. I was not aware of the posting guidelines but understand why it was taken down. I was wondering how do I advertise my business on the bigger pockets forms? From what I can tell it looks like I might have to be a pro member. Any help is appreciated thanks.  

@Christopher Carpenter I don't have any experience with Ocean Lakes, but was wondering if you have invested into properties at Ocean Lakes? I am really considering purchasing a home there for a STR. I'd like to here your feed back. Thanks.

Thanks for the home inspector information. I will be checking them out pretty soon.

I am currently looking to invest in my first property here in the upstate. Greer, Sc. to be exact. Since this is my first investment, I was wondering if any one on BP had any recommendations for a home inspector. Someone that has been in the business for a long time and knows what they are doing. The property is not huge, but I want to make sure I'm not caught with any surprises after closing. 

I am also looking for a property management company to help manage my first property. The place I'm interested in is a 2 bedroom, 2 bath home, no garage, no HOA, close to downtown Greer, Sc. Any info would be gratefully appreciated. Thanks

I'd like to attend but will be at work. Thanks Brian Kox for the info. 

I've been looking for a book about section 8 renting. That's great thanks for the info. 

Thanks for the fees back. I guess my  question is when you are leasing to a Section 8 tenant, don't you typical sign a year lease agrement? If so, how can the tenant come back and say the market has changed and pay less then agreed? 

Also if it came to the tenant causing damages to my property, why couldn't I go through and snap photos of every room of the house. Then print out the photos and have the tenant sign off basically stating everything was fine prior to move in. 

I live in Greenville, Sc. and plan on buying my first investment property in the February time frame. My plan is to start small and invest into a single family home. I have an interest in renting out my first home to section 8 renters. My reason behind this is I know that I will receive a check every month with out chasing down the tenant plus I have heard (not read) there are other advantages to renting out to HUD. Advantages such as repairs that maybe caused by the tenants damaging the property. Not sure how true that is, but would like to believe it. I have read a couple of forum discussions on BP about this topic, but have not come across anything to disprove my theory. I am fully aware of the risks associated with rented to lower income families.

My questions are, Is there a fact sheet that is in plain english that HUD provides describing the ins and outs of renting through HUD? Like how to allocate rent for a home that is acceptable for HUD, repairs cost if any, home requirements, locations of the home ect... I would greatly appreciate your feed back on this topic. A bonus would be someone in the Greenville area renting to section 8 would be total awesome. Thanks Jason
