Keep learning and connecting with others on BiggerPockets to keep growing your knowledge.

I'm looking to make connections, offer services, and gain some knowledge.

Heck my 7 unit I paid 180k and put in maybe 40k, rents are about 53k a year and going higher, KNOWLEDGE is power LOL, All the best 

I recommend focusing on getting a great investment property and disregarding Section 8 in that pursuit because any property can be a Section 8 property, but a lousy investment is lousy regardless of having a Section 8 tenant or not.Section 8 will perform a basic functional and safety inspection for your units after you have an agreement with a Section 8 tenant and your local housing authority.

Soak up knowledge and make some investor friends on the same journey you are.

No specific questions yet, just looking to continue to meet others, hear some experiences, and generally soak up the knowledge here. 

I'm the landlord of a 3-unit building and wanted to know if I should be concerned about any potential plumbing issues (like freezing pipes) or other safety concerns.What steps should I take to protect the building, and are there any other things I should be worried about in this situation?

But my real estate investment knowledge is very limited to the basics that one always starts buying it as their primary residence. 

After talking to two realtors with intimate knowledge of the area, we learned that STR rents and annual occupancy are just too low to even cover the PITI of properties in the area, let alone maintenance, supplies, lawn care, snow removal, etc.

I'd be happy to connect and share my knowledge.
