There could still be some opportunities for new housing, and hopefully, the law will also be eased for single-family properties in the future.

For investments, you'll likely want a conventional loan for commercial properties.

For FHA, the underwriting guide says 75% of the lesser of A.) the leases/rental agreement or B.) the appraisal comp rent schedule.

I imagine there are some people on here that have used small business loans for this type of business or any business in general starting out.

I've found that the best areas for the investors I have worked with on BRRRR properties are areas like Center Point, Fultondale, Gardendale, and Pinson areas.These areas are solid and aren't in warzones like Fairfield or Tarrant but will also produce you cash flow and equity unlike cities like Hoover or Vestavia.

Paying for a Section 8 investment course is the equivalent of an aspiring cook paying for a course titled: How To Boil Water

Quote from @Mark Marino: Greetings,I have done rent to owns for years without much marketing/advertising.

Maybe another one is tenants may tend to stay longer as long as they are eligible for the program.Not 100% sure, but I don't think they always pay that FMR number. 

I'll see if they have a program for this deal and I'll follow up with you. 

You can also try building your own website and get very good at seo or ppc in order for the homeowners to reach out to you.
