Account Closed - I am trying to map out a game plan for my next investment, and a good friend of mine who is an experienced realtor wants me to consider Section 8 because he has a client who is an investor making very good money off of it.

They got in the game when rates were low and it was easy to find cashflow plays. 

Still doing my reading, listening and watching videos everyday to weigh out all my options 

You will need to really start playing the long game though and focus on securing assets that have good underlying fundamentals as you will need to get more creative with the financing if you want to keep moving quickly.

Does the sponsor have skin in the game?

Explore amenities like Video games, dartboards, etc.

and you can find an almost unlimited variation on risk ( from low to high leverage, both floating and fixed rate debt, from no to high skin in the game, etc).

The buyer must have 20% to 30% "skin in the game." 

Hi everyone,My husband and I are just starting out in the real estate investing game.

You will be too detached.5 is required in some states and not in others so a lot if left to your viewing on-site so if you are not seeing it in person, you need full photos and videos of every part of the basement and attic so you have an idea of where the trouble lies before making an offer.
