Great question about section 8 demand in certain area.

Grow a pair and dont take any crap. 

I figure as the area is growing and there are more people moving to the area it will increase the values.

We just bought a house in a highly desired older neighborhood.The owner agreed to owner finance it with 5k down over 5 years at 0% interest.We did put some money into the house to fix it up some.The rental income will cover the payments.Always ask for owner financing, the answer might surprise you.Work with money partners to do more deals.Join your local Real Estate Club and learn new techniques and grow your network.

The demand here far exceeds the supply so there is no reason why your property should not have been leased months ago.

., shifts in pricing, demand-supply changes).Analyze local or regional real estate data.Identify key economic indicators impacting the housing market.Stay ahead of demographic changes or migration trends.Do you have any go-to platforms, datasets, books, or even strategies that have been especially valuable?

Read books, listen to podcasts, and consult with experienced investors who can guide you through the process.Analyze the MarketLook for areas where multifamily properties are available at reasonable prices and where rental demand is high.

You can grow your network of not only other investors who could potentially become partners if you bring them a good deal, but you could meet real estate agents there who may have clients looking for partners on deals.

Now I am interested in growing a little into the single family realm in a neighborhood closer to my home.  

Prices still attractive, but town growing that way.
