I have a Bachelors of Arts in legal studies from CWU.

To invest in Section 8 housing, look at areas such as Cleveland, Columbus, Cincinnati, and Dayton, choose safe neighborhoods, study Section 8 standards, analyze property types, and explore financing choices.

I am in the process of studying for my licensing exam in the state of Tennessee and plan to work in the Chattanooga area upon completion of the test (which will be quite soon).

My vision includes developing the land into a destination with features like driveways, walking paths, utilities, and unique lodging structures.Here’s my tentative plan1.Place the existing STR in an LLC2.Apply for an SBA small business loan to fund the next steps, including a feasibility study (~$10k+), land clearing, and infrastructure development.While this direction excites me, I’m torn between pursuing this venture and continuing with a more traditional approach—buying one home per year using conventional loans.I’d love to hear your thoughts:•Has anyone transitioned from STRs to glamping or similar ventures?

Though if an individual were paying for her or himself, I’d say go with the home-study version for a fraction of the costs of the live seminar….

The most important thing is to know the details of your local program like the back of your hand, then look for loopholes.Just to give you and the other BP'ers a deeper handle on why some TDR programs work and some don't, I just uploaded an excellent study on the topic to my FilePlace at http://www.biggerpockets.com/files/user/ChrisNewma...

If you had 20 years of experience, great connections in the US, and knew your market in and out then I would say you could probably leverage at a higher rate and could probably manage that risk because you have substantially decreased all of the other risks.You should really study what happened in the US during the 80's when overleverage on real estate put a lot of people in a bad spot.

Study the market.

Once you do get buy something, be sure to look at a cost segregation study for the property.  

Philly is a nice option, but you have to study the blocks for about a year to be sure you understand the area you are investing in.
