I would connect with a local PM who has connections with the HUD programs so you can get the most accurate information and guidance in your market. 

I scoured craigslist, the web and facebook for people to do very specific tasks.

You are right about dark web exposure.

These programs usually need a 700+ score. 

If there’s physical damage dishwasher goes out 3 times in one year like it has in the program I work at the company pays the first $500 towards repairs or the new one.

Many DSCR programs require an investor to have a mortgage history- there are some DSCR mortgage programs that will work with investors who are renting- some refer to them as first time home buyers (FTHBs)- DSCR loans are only for investment properties where the owner isn't living there. 

So for the first property which will cost over $1 mil to construct, there will be stacked loans, essentially $280K will come from loan assistance program,( the name is not correct but the same idea).

I would probably take the risk at $500, but $1k feels more of a ripoff like most guru programs.

Develop a program coming out of college.  

Best thing is to call the housing authority that manages the voucher program in your city/county.
