Ask them their process because it's no walk in the park.    

A few options we're considering as alternatives to paying in cash ourselves:Having the seller fix some issues before purchase (we're in the process of post-inspection renegotiations).

It's a great way to learn the process along the way.

Have an insurance broker on standby who can process this requests quickly. 

i can tell you the formulas for the process for the last 25+ years, but none of them apply today.  

My 9 to 5 job is sales and I have grown increasingly frustrated with the prospect that I am making millions of dollars for somebody else when I could be putting the same effort into my own business thus,  have recently decided to go all in with real estate investing.I have a decent understanding of the process but I am stuck in the analysis phase of how to generate leads for a few hundred to a thousand dollars. 

My thought process thus far has been to buy safe and smart so a good looking property I buy now isn't easily put into the red once the market turns and rent drops.For example, I aim for $150+ cash flow / month (SF currently).

Wanted to introduce myself and start the networking process.  

In my experience, the policies, procedures, and processes of how sec8 is utilized and administered is managed by the specific municipality, and the case workers assigned to a specific case. 

I'm in the process of educating myself and want to know if there is a good way to practice running the numbers and evaluating properties.
