I always put in MIA or somewhere I can get to easily when searching.  

Things like landscaping/snow removal and labor cost for repairs are going to be highly variable based on your market so you'd need to do your own research on the going rate by either talking to other local investors, running your own google search, or exploring basic services on thumbtack/angies list etc. 

Welcome to BP, how's the search going, have you found your first deal yet?

I've searched all over and havnt really seen anyone else doing this or talking to much about this approach...

Good luck with your search.

I'm looking to rent out this house and find new opportunities, but only have about $30k free for this next investment.Hi Malak,Curious how your investment search is going?

I have done a couple hours of initial research searching for top markets and have an initial list that I'm researching including Detroit, Memphis, and OH (Columbus, Dayton, Cleveland, Cincinnati) to start.

Do your due diligence upfront on the person (simple google search with their name and lawsuit or scam can weed out many - as well as a search on BP)2.

I've been searching for going on 6 months, so I need to reflect and regroup.

@Kyle Carter recommend you search here on BP for Section 8 threads as there's a lot of feedback already.Just know this, S8 is NOT a cure-all!
