Once most people find out what is involved with licensure they won't do it.

They are pretty involved in making sure the property is updated and functional which ends up reducing the amount of $ offered, or if the property needs maintenance repairs Flock might not offer on it at all.

Using vouchers are a potential way for somebody with a lower income  ( like me or that teacher you mention) to step into homeownership -and it is a trick to get through all that is involved.  1- A mortgage (in my area)  will be higher than the amount of my voucher -so I am applying for a USDA Direct 502 rural loan.

I bet passive investors had been working with coaches to underwrite the deals they've been investing in the past two years.

Best bet is to go talk with some local banks and commercial lenders bc most likely that's not gonna fly on any kind of conventional loan.

I'm currently involved in a few projects myself, primarily in the fix-and-flip and BRRRR space, and I'm always on the lookout for lending partners.

Both are in a small market in Illinois, where I have family involved in real estate and construction, so it’s been a great way to jumpstart my multi-family journey.As I'm looking to expand, I’m particularly interested in out-of-state investing, since the DC area where I live is a bit too expensive for my investment goals.

I'll bet it is a leaky toilet flapper valve or something. 

Cashing out so I can begin a new investing adventure involving tiny homes :)

I bet you do very well with it..
