New here to the forum and I am currently looking to invest in Ohio for the purpose of providing section 8 housing. 

I recently looked at an existing STR, but either the seller did not track the expenses or they did not want to provide them. 

These I have found are real, striving parents, working their butts off to provide the best housing and school system for their children.My ethos in this approach is exactly why we at LaPlante refer to them as Residents, as we consider "Tenant and Landlord" to be dated terms and rife with negative emotion.

Regarding a HELOC, most banks will only provide a HELOC up to 75-80% of the property value, so you may not be able to access a HELOC for a while.

I figured lowest money out of pocket was the best way to go, and in this case FHA would provide the lowest downpayment.
