It's another tool in the tool belt, but not a one-size fits all.The last time I offered cash was when both my tenants got laid off and could not afford rent.

I am looking to connect with investors in Buffalo NY who have a couple of student rentals under their belt. 

Of course, with 45 years of property ownership under my belt, I’ve had tenants from hell.  

Should I get a couple of deals underneath my belt using my own capital before looking for outside capital?

I've been a real estate agent since 2014 working in the residential side and have one investment property (bought rented and sold) under my belt. 

@Dmitriy Fomichenko@George Blower@Justin WindhamAny experience with Titan Bank for solo 401k services?

Looking forward to getting the ball rolling and getting my first deal under my belt. 

YUP  self serving  underhanded subliminal marketing attempt  dove tailing off he new crop of U tubers trying to convince investors that section 8 is a money train and the tenants are just so happy to have the voucher there is NOTHING they would ever do to lose it etc etc.In Jackson specifically they can trash the house and sec 8 WILL not take their voucher they just go on to the next landlord that just rehabbed a house and wants section 8 rent because market rate tenants in that city are some of the absolute worse payers in all the 25  markets I have worked over the last 22 years in the mid west and rust belt states and cities. 

Very cool- let me get a few weeks of education under my belt and then I'd love to meet up for lunch and pick your brain.

Something good to keep in mind too is to keep a contingency in your budgets to ensure you've always got enough funded for the rehabs.Once you get a few under your belt then your LTV's will be higher and your rates will be lower.
