I have a very basic understanding of the financing aspect and really just stuck on what I need to do next and who I should be contacting to move forward.Any help is welcome, thanksHey @Ryan Kane, welcome to the BP Forum!

The fresh perspective from someone outside of my network is crucial, that way my expectations can be closer to reality if I decide to reach out to new contacts for this opportunity. 

Have you tried contacting a local community bank? 

They made contact with me as well but I don't want to get sucked into a scam. 

Contact DPOR. 

I've been a member of GAREIA for about a year and it's been fantastic - lot of people in that group that are experienced and excited to help the next gen investors.https://gareia.com/Feel free to PM me or reach out to contact info in bio - would be happy to help however I can! 

I will PM you my rep -- they are in Indianapolis, but if they don't cover your territory, I am sure they can send you contact info for someone. 

And each year when the lease comes up for renewal, I ask them to contact the housing authority and ask for a rent increase.

Make sure the previous property management company did their job and communicated a change in management prior to you taking over--along with your contact information.If they have no done this, they should so the tenant doesn't feel like a scam may be going on.Just make sure they're away of where rent payments need to go and who they can contact in the future. 

I've had a long career in community development and have a lot of bank contacts that would likely be interested in investing, but I'd need to prove the concept first with an initial fund (there are also a lot of other community development tools that could be leveraged to maximize and scale this).
