@Scott Gordon thanks! 

Hey @Josh CochranJust this afternoon I had an extensive conversation with Juliann at WWC.

Some of the most expensive real estate in the country is in Florida: Gemini Estate (sold for $175M in 2022), Gordon Point (currently for sale for $295M, the most expensive listing in the US), Tarpon Island (~$180M), etc.

Quote from @Josh Bowser: Shaan - have you had any conversations with lenders as far as what price point you're looking for?

Quote from @Josh Allison: Hi Jamie, very interesting post. 

Quote from @Josh Allison: Hi everyone, I am looking at getting into the section 8 rental market as a foreign investor, what are the "best" states to invest in, in terms of cash flow and actually working with the city to cooperate and pass inspections.Is there anyone on here who could point me into the right direction of anyone that has done this, or the best way to go about doing this?

Quote from @Josh Young: @Ashley AndersonTypically a HELOC and HEL are second mortgages and they can be a good way to access capital to invest, but the problem with using them is the interest rate is typically even higher than the debt you can get on the new purchase, so they might not be a great idea unless you plan to aggressively pay them down when you use them. 

Quote from @Josh Young: @Chander SriAustin (and surrounding area) is in a correction, but has good long term fundamentals, so keeping it as a rental could end up making you a lot of money, it just might take a few(5-7) years. 

@Josh WellsRecommend exploring as many sources as possible to get referrals AND cross-reference them to get as much accurate information as possible.Check out NARPM.com, BP’s Property Manager Finder (BiggerPockets: The Real Estate Investing Social Network), etc.Also, encourage you to learn from the mistakes of others - by reading posts here on BiggerPockets about owners not having their expectations met by their current Property Management Company.

Quote from @Scott Gordon: So instead of saying 8-10 properties, change your thinking to a dollar figure that would enable you to leave your job which is your goal.
