@Maria Adames,Welcome to BP.while the section8 program is federal, the local jurisdictions have some slightly different (or very different) implementations.

Or is this a process that looks great on paper, but is difficult to implement?

We live in Houston, Texas where I am currently working in the healthcare informatics industry as an Implementation Manager, which is similar to project management.

I look forward to meeting new people and learning all I can and  implement in my business.

As of now, I'm leaning towards house hacking my first investment and implementing a buy and hold strategy of single family and multifamily homes from there.

It will be implemented In 48 hours.

Do you have a good lease, accounting software, intention to inspect the unit twice a year or more, online payment system (you'll want this since you travel alot), screening criteria, and ability to implement all of your policies and deal with tenant issues along with showings associated with vacancy?

A broker may not allow you to even cut the grass on a listed property, so ensure the broker has the fine details before you go out on your own trying to implement some strategy.And yes, having a license takes you out of harms way in wholesaling as you should be working as an agent and making about the same thing.

We have also found implementing straight runs from a manifold (where possible) provides hot water to the point-of-use more quickly.

Seems like they really don't protect my property value but are a risk to my property in that they can take it away from me.Conversely, I was looking through the bylaws of the house under contract and they say in there they require board approval and could implement or outright ban rentals.
