Before I get to the issues I want to point out Bigger Pockets is a great website for networking, free information, investing strategies and many other things. 

We have ~35 agents and they primarily come from OSU or right out of college.Ok didn't realize you were broker just said realtor on the website. 

If you want to see examples of how Section 8 tenants behave, check out the Holton Wise Property Group website.

I was wondering if I should use the HUD website to figure out my numbers.

This is also assuming that you'd have other systems in place to help capture, pre-qualify, and convert the lead (i.e. website, call center, etc.).Hope this helps!

Something I would recommend for you is this website. https://www.areavibes.com/Use this rating and classification system I have created over time to get an idea of the "Class" for the area - A class B class & so onHere is my rating & classification for each livability score.80 and above A+78/79 A76/77 A-74/75 B+72/73 B70/71 B-68/69 C+66/67 C64/65 C-60/63 D59 and below F

Connecting with other investors can lead to potential deals and partnerships.Use Real Estate Websites: Check out sites like Zillow, Realtor.com, and Redfin to find properties that are priced lower than usual or have been sitting on the market for a while.

For something more advanced Lone Star Capital has one on their website you can download for free I believe

There's certainly quite a few of us around but things have been kinda slow since the interest rates jumped up and BP is doing a revamp of their website and overhauling the different premium tier packages and I've noticed its been messing with notifications and keywords and such so some people are just missing posts they would normally see. 

If you don't have an appraisal and cannot rely on the county website then speaking with an appraiser sounds like your best option to get an accurate valuation.
