This forum is a good place for sharing both positive and negative associations.Finding new and reliable sources is always a difficult task.

@Joseph Lavoie I live and invest in Birmingham area, I have a couple sources that will loan under $100k (hard money loan w/construction loan) I have used if you are interested. 

I prefer to use appreciation as a kicker and not the main source of profit.

@David O'Sullivan JrRecommend exploring as many sources as possible to get referrals AND cross-reference them to get as much accurate information as possible.Check out NARPM.com, BP’s Property Manager Finder (BiggerPockets: The Real Estate Investing Social Network), etc.Also, encourage you to learn from the mistakes of others - by reading posts here on BiggerPockets about owners not having their expectations met by their current Property Management Company.

(the negative talk is the source of the pressure.)

I could also take the money from another source, but wouldn't be able to carry the 2 mortgages on personal loan I don't think.

Those states have "income source" as a protected class and as far as I know are only the west coast (CA, OR, WA) and the new england area (MA, CT, VT, NJ ect) Account Closed  In most states you are not required to accept Sec 8, and as such if you choose not to you could deny processing an applicant that is using a voucher.

If nothing else, they are a good source for understanding what you may not know.

I recommend sitting down for an hour and learning how to develop a simple model in Excel yourself.When looking at properties you will often time have edge-cases where there are unusual sources of income and expense that might not fit in a calculator like this.
