Welcome! I love your idea, I think it’s a great way to make an impact. Keep in mind that tenant screening, regular property maintenance, and understanding the inspection requirements for Section 8 are crucial for success. And make sure you underwrite for true markets rents, not just what Section 8 may be willing to pay. Feel free to reach out if you’d like to connect or chat strategies—I work with Section 8 housing and I’d be happy to help however I can!

If I were you, I'd check out local Real Estate Investment Associations or groups like DMV REIA, which may host regular meetups. Local real estate Facebook or LinkedIn groups are also worth joining to stay updated on events in the area.

For out-of-state networking, this is a pretty good platform for connecting, but you have to be intentional about it. I also like using LinkedIn to connect. I’m always looking to expand my network, so feel free to reach out.

It has to do with a couple of things: there’s relative affordability and a pro-business climate that play a big role. But beyond that, Texas offers consistent population growth and strong job markets, which create ongoing demand for housing and commercial spaces. This environment supports everything from single-family rentals to multifamily developments. For real estate investors, Texas represents a dynamic market with long-term growth potential. I’m in DFW, so if you’re looking into breaking into this market, feel free to connect with me if you need advice.

Starting with a single-family can be a great way to start especially if you're looking for a lower-risk starter project where you can get your hands dirty and learn a ton by doing. If you're comfortable with a bigger investment, a duplex is good for the benefit of additional cash flow and you could house-hack. It really depends on your comfort level and long-term goals, but even if you want to get into multifamily long-term, SFR may be the best option to gain some comfortability. Feel free to reach out if you want to chat further!

Great to see you diving in! Starting later in life is no problem—real estate is a long game, and the key is building the right foundation. Even though you’re looking at investing out of state, I’d still recommend networking locally in Nashville. The relationships you build can help you in unexpected ways, whether it’s finding out-of-state contacts or gaining insights from others with remote investing experience. On here, I’d say you can find some pretty good connections, you just have to be willing to reach out. Feel free to connect with me here! I’m always looking to expand my network.

Post: How are You Building Lasting Wealth Through Real Estate?

Great question! Real estate offers multiple avenues to build lasting wealth. Personally, I generate steady cash flow through rental income from workforce housing and multifamily properties, but the value really comes from the appreciation that takes time but is happening, especially in markets like Dallas, where property values are rising steadily due to a major supply demand imbalance. Tax advantages from depreciation can help minimize tax liabilities. By diversifying across different property types, you can ensure a balanced portfolio that generates both immediate returns and long-term gains.
