I would probably take the risk at $500, but $1k feels more of a ripoff like most guru programs. don't waste your time if they don't meet your criteria there is ZERO chance they will meet this guys.. remember they make their money with you folks dreaming of making money and paying for the dream.. 

If I had a good tenant and they continue to be a good tenant, I don't care where they legally get their money from.I agree that most S8 do not meet my criteria even without considering the source of the income.However, we have another policy that also works against S8.  

@Anade DavisOur team would be happy to take a look at any issues you had with comps in Florida, but we can't provide support for our platform on these forums.

BP has done such a great job of promoting SFR investing to the masses, that those masses have pushed up real estate prices to where it's now DIFFICULT to cashflow right away.Keep going, but understand you won't get rich in real estate overnight - it's a long-term wealth building strategy.For the short-term, recommend joining a few in-person investor meetings if possible, otherwise online ones.

Do you like being a host on that platform?

In addition to that, platforms like HomeAdvisor or Angi are great for finding vetted professionals, and local builders associations or the Greater Beaumont Chamber of Commerce may have directories or recommendations. 

But they are savvy business people too, some of the best negotiators I've ever meet.

There will always be posters who come out of the woodwork who claim to be able to beat terms or meet borrowing expectations.

Are they meeting your long-term investment goals?

Your job is to keep tightening it up (geographically and based on asset type) and meeting investors until you have a buy box that makes sense for you.There is also no point to running deals through a calculator if you are seeing them.
