Hello all, I'm curious how much the HUD will actually pay compared to the 40th percentile rents posted on their site.I'm aware of the different amounts each tenant will cover in terms of their portion of the rent, but I'm not sure if the HUD will actually agree to my rent price.I've been taking the stated FMR for the bedroom count, and taking 20% off the number stated (to be conservative as to what the HUD will accept).

I would rather take 1 year to get all zoning done on a site where no other competitors can come than to be able to build something day one with lots of comparable lots around me.  

@Gabriel Dent Depending on your work and savings, it could be worth doing an application with a lender to see what you could get preapproved up to so you know what range you can offer within and then compare those duplexes, triplexes, and fourplexes to where you could rent for the time being instead. 

Hi Vida,Based on your goals and budget, here are some suggestions for building a small home with a business space in the Atlanta, South Carolina, or North Carolina areas:Building options:Modular homes: These can be a cost-effective option, allowing for faster construction and potentially lower costs compared to traditional building.

Down the road if you feel that you cannot find something comparable to her program and still want to do it, then I'd negotiate a payment plan so you are not paying everything out of pocket up front.

there is no question the internet changed RE investing in a big way compared to when i started in 75..

This is huge because more people moving in means increased demand for housing, which is great for rental properties.Low Entry Price Points: The barrier to entry is still quite low compared to other cities, meaning you can get in with a lower capital investment and still have the potential for solid cash flow.

Hello @Kanika Jain,I will compare Las Vegas and San Antonio net income and future rent and price growth.Net IncomeIt's not about how much you gross but how much you net.

They make things way too difficult compared to a simpler, DSCR solution.The type of lender also plays a large role here. 

One idea I have is to "shadow" a real estate investor (although I am not entirely sure how to go about asking for / finding this kind of opportunity), but I am wondering if anyone has insight into other ways to gain a comparable level of experience.If anyone has insight into any or all of these topics, I would greatly appreciate the feedback.
