I do know coaching/mentoring/selling programs can be good money, especially if a person knows how to market themselves or has a bit of prior exposure.

Personally I like the Section 8 program when the property is located in a super poor area with a ton of blight and crime.

If you did not like that experience, maybe you should try a smaller company to get a more personalized service experience.  

I’m guessing that is because of your pessimistic view on the economy right now, but even if the markets dip temporarily, based on history, they will rebound to even higher points (I know just cause it’s happened before doesn’t guarantee it will happen again).Personally I have a successful business, but opted to diversify into real estate because my industry is heavily regulated and one change of a law could make me MUCH less profitable.

I have personally purchased large apartment complexes from REITs and know how poorly some of them manage their properties. 

Appreciate if any personal experience can be shared that triggered the need.Thanks

It can be price or unique amenity or your personal charm! 

So I don’t have to reinvent the wheel every time I hire a new person.

I have personally seen the "Deed in Lieu in escrow" tactic with two different private lenders in Louisiana.
