You have to put more money down and pay a higher interest rate and is limited to only 2% IPC.

Don't let them choose for you.Just inspect what you expect....Also I would talk to housing office in Memphis to get a feel of how many people are on the Section 8 waitlist, what kind of rents they pay, what zip codes are they targeting, see if they have any stats about how long tenants stay and average rent.While a lot of people try to look at google street view to get an idea of the neighborhood, there is no substitute for visiting in person.

You can learn from someone one step ahead of you and then do business together.I'm sure there are plenty of mentors you could pay substantial money to to gain knowledge and know how but i doubt it could replace actual relationships that are pertinent to your market and current business.

I was told by a local experienced investor that insurance companies will always go cheap with paying out to contractors in the event a property needs to be rebuilt. 

Make sure the tenants are paying market rent or above, otherwise your loan will be DSCR constrained.

If you hire someone typically they are the ones providing this information, but if someone is paying you, then yes they need this information for tax purposes.BTW - I would say your SS# has been hacked so many times and is on the black market already this is why we monitor ours through other parties or just lock it down at experian and other agencies if you are concerned about it.

I’m not sure where to go from here or what, if any recourse can be made to recoup my money.My take is you get what you pay for & low interest is not worth the crap we had to ho thru and in the end, they didn’t come thru but will brag how they close hundreds of deals a month.well, they didn’t close this one!

Now, you need to figure out how to find deals and pay for them.

Instead of paying into someone else’s property, you could be using that allowance to finance your own real estate investment.In Germany, you have access to a stable market with long-term growth potential, and U.S. service members and government civilians have unique advantages here.

I understand I'd take a pay cut being an agent for the first few years, but in exchange, I'd be learning about the market and building a network as I move towards Commercial multifamily.
