Hi BiggerPocket community,This.is Michael, currently a partner of Coldwell Banker UAE.Just want to introduce myself to this community and proactively will be sharing more about investments in the real estate market here in Dubai.

Hi All,My name is Michelle, I am a local long term SFH real estate investor in South Florida and am wanting to add on Section 8 investing in Detroit, Michigan.I currently am not knowledgeable on Section 8, but am educating myself.I am looking to connect with other Section 8 investors to see how they got started along with what resources they used to look at market trends, how to pick the specific hot bed to invest in Section 8, and advice I may need to know.Thank you in advance.

I'd be happy to discuss more with you about real estate investing. 

I’m just getting started in real estate investing and am looking to acquire my first investment property.I’d love to connect with like-minded investors, lenders, and mentors who can share insights or personal journey.

completely new to the real estate game.

Additionally, it’s a good idea to network with local real estate agents who specialize in short-term or mid-term rental markets.Good luck with your new venture! 

I'm new here and about to dive into my first real estate investment.
