Buy properties (in the path of progress) that need TLC and add value (rehab, raise rents, reduce costs, increase NOI).

We did not want to raise our tenant's out-of-pocket by $50 so checked and were told section 8 would pay $150 more regardless of what we set the rent at, so we only raised the rent $150.  

but if anyone is looking to make changes and raise rent, they have room for that What made you interested in investing in this type of deal?

starting by just brokering loans is a good way to start in states that do not require a license.. raising capital from private investors to make loans is a long process And very difficult if you do not have a long track record or pedigree in the industry.. if someone is brand new they really need to go work for a lender first.. other wise IMHO the chance of success is very small.

This shift in terminology raises an important question: Is it truly an improvement, or are we witnessing necessary corrections to previously inflated prices?

Would you consider raising money via arbitrage/short term rentals to do minor upgrades and invest in another property.

I was actually born and raised in Dallas Texas and I use to work section 8 housing back in the late 80's.  

The fix-up/lease-up process raises the NOI and ultimately forces a higher property value, leading to a cash-out refi within the 5-year term. 

Still, after a few months, I figured it wasn't the best fit for my interest as I'm interested in raising capital or using other people's money to buy multifamily.
