@Marci S.This will be challenging as most lenders will lend on an asset.

Also, what’s been your biggest challenge when it comes to securing the funds you need?

Basically scale in paper and challenge it with your personal time, resources, desires, finance, insurance, PM, etc.

Hey Megan, I'm glad you're interested in Section 8 investing—it can be a very rewarding niche, but it’s definitely got its share of challenges.

Challenges?

The if is the challenge as ground up ADUs typically cost more.
