The law does NOT apply to landlords:With less then 5 rental unitsThat live in one unit of a duplex and rent out the other unitThat rent out rooms in the home they occupySo, landlords can no longer state in their rental ads, "Section 8 not accepted".The reverse is also true, "Section 8 only", cannot be used.We've always recommended screening S8 tenants the same way as cash-paying tenants.Landlords waiving application fees and/or security deposits only for S8 prospects may also be violating Fair Housing.

Additionally, based on your numbers, it should definitely cash flow. 

Purchase price: $302,500 Cash invested: $5,000 Utilized VA Loan for a House Hack for my first Rental Property.

Just not seeing any rents close to the property for 3/4 bedroom properties that would cash flow for a mortgage that size.

So anyway one can pay the  20k and get some basic theoretical knowledge but one should be realistic this is a big cash up front business.. your not going to find consultants doing this work on the come.  100% agree.

I just don't think you can expect a property to cash flow when you're putting 3.5% down.

I have purchased the following books:ABCs of Buying Rental Property The ABCs of Property Management The ABCs of Real Estate Investing The Advanced Guide to Real Estate InvestingThe Book on Investing in Real Estate with No (and Low) Money DownWhat order do you recommend reading them in?

you could take $300K and purchase one property for cash. 

Thank you all in advance for your feedback, wisdom, and tips. 

Between the equity on the condo and the extra cash you have, you can purchase 2-3 homes.
