And that's where the seed was planted I suppose.

With facilities such as oil refineries, steel mills, smelters, chemical plants, and power plants.

I had a bunch of down time at the plant and would read articles books about RE investing.

Michael be resilient, its a numbers game literally both financially and attempts - you have to stay disciplined, put together a system and stick to your guns, its just money not love  - its a business transaction, just keep with it, something will pop.

Some of us start looking for ways to build wealth to become more resilient just in case our world turns ugly again.Luckily, I've never experienced anything that set me back in a major way, but I did have a few close calls.

Most of my renters are workers at the chemical plants and refineries. 

Currently the unemployment is lower than 5%, this is due to many plants and factories in need of workers and the housing is at about an 800 unit deficit (with 2 new complexes). 

China was also using these for storage as they backed up at their plants. 

I know this is a older post , I just purchased a property in the Augusta area near the apple valley neighborhood not far from those plants & I was thinking about going the section 8 route with it, I just need a little more info what I need to prepare for, what direction did you end up going?

I disagree in what you say that you don’t learn investing OOS I have learned a lot the most important skill I have learned is I can successfully plant my roots in any market.
