I will move forward with my journey and just follow the positive people in this group that is amazing.I get the Ra RA Ra stuff.. just sometimes reality comes into play.. and its sad to see people run down these rabbit holes.. when those with decades of experience in the industry know better.. just trying to give both sides..   

The key is to standardize property quality and management systems, which would appeal to buyers seeking scale.If you’re thinking long-term, holding these properties for cash flow while leveraging local appreciation is also a strong play.

This is where my mistake comes into play.

Appreciation in most Sec8 neighborhoods is very low so it’s a cash flow play.- I would highly suggest you plan on using a property management company.

With a 3-5% down FHA loan, I snagged a cozy home in a hot spot, worked from home to play handyman, and created a hedge against the "what-ifs" of life.

Quote from @Sandra Morrison: @Shannon LeckingerI have STRs and LTRs - your condo will be possibly more of an appreciation play but you can’t pay bills with appreciation.

Hi John,I like playing with raw land, too, in Snohomish county, WA, just north of Seattle. 

You have to tell people if a toy is broken, missing pieces, or might explode when played with.

Oregon saw it that way as well.. many folks got cease and desist using guru on line training techniques this just formalizes the activity and levels the playing field and gives both buyers and sellers a mechanism to get out of deals and or have a regulator step in..

If you’re newer to real estate, role-play scenarios with a mentor or colleague.
