Without someone knowing the ins and outs of this, the information you receive will be just someones opinion but probably provides no strategy or path on how you should invest the $  I agree with Chris, need more info and beware of the people messaging you on the side. 

They are all in decent areas.I like the program.They pay all or a large portion of the rent.The tenants take care of my houses and stay a long time. can i contact you John to get some advice on investing in MD for sec 8? 

A family member contacted me directly, so my agent hasn't been involved at all with this deal so far.In that case, the only reason that you would pay him the 3 percent is you wanted the assistance with the whole process from negotiation, home inspection, negotiating any repairs, mortgage and closing and title referrals.

So if you'd like info on this, then private message me.

@Charlie Krzysiak You have options, time to learn, and local contacts.

My position is new in Vegas so I am building my own portfolio, direct contact with me, no 1800 # bs. 

Much of the info you are seeking can be found on AirDNA.Com. 

This makes prospecting much easier, as you will have all the owner contact information at your fingertips.  

The loan info (hard money for acquisition; conventional for refi) is from actual conversations or emails with lenders. 

My contact has been non-communicative and I'm wondering if he's experiencing cash flow issues and just trying to bide his time, or if there's a deeper issue and he's on the verge of bankruptcy.Any advice you can provide for this situation would be GREATLY appreciated.
