I'm not sure if it's these guys specifically but people are paying $5,000 for some S8 guru.It's insane.Section 8 is not complex.

Let me know if you have any specific questions about how it works.

Which specific one have you had success with?

I'm hoping to secure a fix & flip for my next deal and I'm looking out of state (specifically in Oklahoma).

YOu should ask him why that would be the case and for some type of supporting language to back up his claim.

I don't have any specific contacts, but I do see several people posting on a few STR facebook groups local to Orlando, you might try there.

I have some web design skills (I'm an engineer, so easy to learn new programming languages) and I'm currently testing my new system to manage the tenants.

If you can establish a solid network (even virtually at first), and maybe leverage your savings to buy a property with rehab in mind, the reward could be the path you're looking for to make those five-year goals a reality.Of course, the risks are there, but if you're comfortable and see the upside, it could be worth leaning into.If you need more insight into BRRRR execution or anything specific about market selection and building a remote team, feel free to ask.Hope that helps!

@Pete Tarinthere could be tax benefits - you might be eligible for passive losses, but it would be specific to your situation. 

The three ways to handle the risk are (1) gaining knowledge and experience in both investment in general and in the area you’re investing in specifically (2) extensive due diligence and when the inevitable bad outcomes occur despite (1) and (2) then (3) diversification.
