More educational and networking rather than promoting products and services.

More activities (games, outdoor décor and games - games also end up with missing pieces very often).

In our experience, the S8 guru/scammers promote buying Class D properties and then renting them out to S8 voucher holders.It takes a lot of hustle and probably legally bribing the tenant with an appliance or two, to get them to move into a bad area.No telling how long they will stay either. 

You can get into them for a great price.Here is my biggest piece of advice.

You may be able to create a Zillow account and promote the open house on that site which would likely get the most eyeballs on your potential open house.

We are thinking very long term, so in order to cover bases regarding potential deaths, wanting to pull out, or being unable to afford the investment it seemed like the best way to go.Really looking for some general advice is there is any, we feel we've googled and researched everything that will apply, but are there anymore pieces to be aware of? 

But agreed, the equity piece here is the enticing piece to me.

Now that Fannie/Freddie have gone back to 5% down on multi units, as long as you have good scores and dti, conventional may be the best option.Be careful of lenders promoting no PMI options.
