The best way to learn about how to really invest in real estate is to read books, listen to good podcasts, and pair that with going to in-person meetups so you can see people just like you, married with 3 kids, who are making it work for them.

I personally know the person that owns the property and am close friends with him.

Don’t just focus on the voucher—focus on the person behind it.

If you are nearby, if you have ever been a pizza delivery person, maybe deliver a pizza to the wrong house that may or may not be the one being foreclosed on so atleast you can see inside a small portion. we used to just go knock on the door some folks would actually let you look around.

I have not seen a significant difference in this area between section 8 and non-section 8 tenants, personally. 

My personally favorite spot so far is Ko Olina but I'm open minded.

I have never been there personally but I have heard it's good food.

When all the dust settles, and the  person searching is tired and discouraged and gives up, Jerry may not have bought  a single lot, but he's made some money from the training he sold you, which was his main goal from the beginning!

And like the first person said about how the tenants are more likely stuck than happy, you just proved that point.

I would say the same for employees who need say a second advance on their wages (we allow one).I am willing to make a personal loan if an employee really needs it and you could consider doing it that way with a tenant in need.
