For those who are running successful Section 8 businesses out-of-state, did you start in just 1 state or if the opportunity made sense would you purchase the property regardless of the state?

Started with the flip business 2 years ago and going strong. id say start by practicing comps in your area, learn your market and go to real estate meetups.

It makes lead management way more efficient since they get to focus on people who actually want to do business. 

@Michael James Hamlin I'm a former tax accountant/business consultant turned fix n flipper and investor friendly agent. 

I think there's a pretty low bar for competency in the management business because it's not glamorous and can be a grind.

I typically don't comment on other's businesses unless I know from personal experience.

I've picked up several really good deals because a tenant operator ran the business into the ground to a point where the property owners just wanted or needed out. 

If you ever go down let me know and I can have our plantation foreman walk you thru the business end.  

They lower taxable income for federal taxes but not for FICA.However, employer contributions made by the S-Corp are not subject to FICA and count as a business expense.Make sure your W-2 correctly reports wages, deferrals, and FICA wages.

Quote from @Chris Magistrado:The point he's making is that the agent must take responsibility for building and maintaining their business, and the Broker won't play much of a role.
