I have several Section 8 tenants myself here in Columbus, and overall, it's been a fairly easy process.

Lenders get paid at closing.Consider developing a better process to find and vet your lenders, Torianne.

Congrats on getting the home and starting the process.

There is nothing inherently different about the process of working with Section 8 between SFH, small or large multifamily. 

I am in the process of refinancing for 100k to purchase a second property.

We're in the process doing a build to rent property.

So talking with your Realtor on scenarios that truly are likely may help you speed up your search and offer process, and help you find a great spot.

My goal is to gain a solid understanding of the process, master deal analysis, and ultimately close my first deal.Right now, I’m focused on learning the basics — from finding motivated sellers to building a strong network of cash buyers.

My frind in Omaha ended up picking up his second property sooner than he expected, simply because he’d built a small name for himself with one successful deal already under his belt.Are you feeling confident about the day-to-day responsibilities, or is there something else in the process that’s keeping you up at night?

Typically Conventional will end 42% of DTI and FHA can get up to 51% DTI (and based on your credit score I think you should stretch to that 51%) Just a few things to start thinking about as you are working through the process.
