I am an investor and Program/Project Analyst, currently dealing with something similar.

The county Housing Authority that administers the section 8 program should be able to help you in finding tenants with vouchers who are looking for a new place to live.

Is there any lenders out there that have programs that can work for me? 

I believe the one good thing about that spreadsheet is that it can be adjusted by the State you live in. because costs are different in every State the estimate sheet i believe is based on a multiplier for the corresponding State, as most cost estimating books are based. that program does break down a lot of information for you and i think it is a good program, one thing you may want to check is if the program updates every year with current multipliers for the States ( program is probably based on a starting average value for each thing and then the multiplier changes as prices for materials change) and you want to make sure it does that.

The prop. taxes increase because of increased benefits, social programs and costs to operate the city/schools. 

I am looking to build my network and connect with investors, brokers, agents and affiliates in Houston, DFW, ATX, and San Antonio. 

I enjoy helping new investors learn the new programs and loopholes.

As far as joining a program, I can’t say yes or no, but would warn against shelling out a bunch of money for a course or mastermind.

This question is asked a lot and there's a ton of value by just reading those previous conversations.In short, there are pros and cons to the program.

I think if the REIAs  acknowledge they are taking a kickback then I guess that is OK.. but the ones here in Oregon I dont think man folks understand that is happening.. as the guys running it will start talking about how great the program is and they will be the first one to sign up.
