@Steve Morris I’m motivated to provide safe and affordable housing to those in need.

Should we do this or would it be better if we designed a postcard online to send out?

From what I’ve found online, there appears to be a 6-month seasoning period before refinancing, but this may not apply to non-cashout refinances.

Online platforms like LinkedIn and BiggerPockets can also be helpful.

You are a teacher from California looking to invest in states that have a high demand for section 8 housing and asked some suggestions for good states to invest.I am a retired teacher myself and all of my tenants are section 8.I personally love section 8 tenants and proving safe and affordable housing for them.I am in Michigan.

I wouldn’t consider Lima safe but it is a big city.

But the question is whether one can actually achieve the proforma cash flow on older properties with a less economically stable tenant base.Based on your picture, you appears fairly young.My advice is buy properties in quality locations think long term 10 to 15 years - slowly and safely build your portfolio - equity and cash flow will increase over time and in 10 to 15 years you may become financially free.People talk cash flow is king but one can NOT generate financial freedom cash flow with $250,000 or $500,000 invested (equity).Even at a 10% cash on cash return, one needs $1.2M invested to generate $120K a year $10K a month.You want property to be self supporting so it needs to cash flow but once that is reached the focus in my opinion should equity growth which increases net worth.
