Hi BP, As a newcomer to the real estate investment scene, I wanted to see if anyone had experience with Section 8 investments in Detroit.

Some ideas I've considered:Equity Buyout: Having another investor or my partner buy out my 40% equity.Seller Financing: Selling my equity and offering seller financing to the buyer.Selling the Property: Liquidating the property entirely and splitting the proceeds.Does anyone have experience with situations like this?

You don't need to know everything to get started; you need a foundation to build on, and the rest will come through experience and then refining your education.You can build a basic understanding of investing in 3-6 months.

Hi @Deepak Malhotra,Thanks for sharing your experience—there’s a lot to learn here!

I'd connect with some local investors either through the Airbnb app.. can message them as a guest and ask for a phone call to see their experiences and see if someone can send you their P/L or share experiences, and or connect with local facebook groups.

I'd be happy to share my experiences from both perspectives.
