This gets you in the game with minimal upfront costs.Covering the Smaller Costs (Inspections, Appraisals, Earnest Money, etc.)Even when using other people’s money, you’ll need some cash for earnest money deposits, inspections, and carrying costs.

Bottom line—Tampa or Lakeland if cash flow matters, Miami if you’re playing the long game, and Orlando’s somewhere in between.

I'm thinking about investing into section 8  housing in STL and I'm new to this game.

But not all land is fair game.

Good for you for staying ahead of the game 

From what I've learned in this business is that you're not only investing into a deal, but into the people of that deal.I believe that real estate is a game of strong connections, not expensive playbooks.

Quote from @Michael Baum: Hey @David Rutledge, the purchase of a small hotel is a very different animal than SFHs for STRs.Like @Luke Carl said, you will have to have some significant skin in the game.

New to the game so really trying to find a deal that will put me in a position I don’t regret.

As the saying goes, “Whether you think you can or think you can’t, you’re right.”That being said, there are definitely creative ways to get into the game.
