I came across conflicting information online, so I wanted to double-check with the knowledgeable folks on this forum. 

The process requires some knowledge from your agent. 

3.Zillow doesn't bring me any units, my realtor also doesn't have knowledge on multi family units, what are my other resources you would recommend?

I'm looking for a team, an agent that with knowledge both on/off market deals/neighborhoods insight.....good GC, efficient and can accommodate multiple jobs and property manager with that is experience in section 8 housing.Appreciate hearing from you. 

They invest where someone tells them returns are good, without knowing the markets intimately.

Obviously speak to a lawyer or someone with more knowledge, but I have heard of people leaving their FHA home before the first year is up for much worse reasons. 

One of the reasons why I’m bullish on real estate investing is because I am more afraid of the “what if I didn’t invest” rather than the “what if it goes wrong.”Yes, I could fail and lose everything I started with, but I’d still be farther along than if I never started at all.I’d have the knowledge, skills, and lessons that only come from taking action.Every misstep is a step forward when you’re learning and adapting.The real risk isn’t failure, it’s standing still and letting fear hold you back.Take action!!!

I’m here to network with like-minded individuals, share experiences, and grow my knowledge in real estate investing.

Happy to connect and knowledge/resource share if you are interested in these markets.
