But I guess an investor must be willing to sit down as we go over the three ways to protect the money they put in… just stumped is all I’m saying. thanks for the insight!!  

And as others said, section 8 tenants are often the most quiet and reliable because they don't want to lose this aid and they are grateful to have housing. 

It is just very overbuilt, and therefore, some properties sit on the market longer than others.

I like it because it keeps my money working for me in between finding deals, so I don’t have cash sitting on the sidelines getting chewed up by inflation.That being said, if you have equity from day one.

Just come up with a list of questions (especially ones you might even already know the answer to) and sit down with a few. 

Then I sit down with a spreadsheet and analyze all parcels for an area and generate a list of target properties right from my computer.  

Good neighborhoods, excellent schools, and literally--where does the house I want sit in the actual neighborhood...I say does it look like a $650K house area when I'm done?

But you won't realize that until after the fact when you are sitting at home with the 4 books that came with your $45,000 seminar payment and you wondering "What's my next step?"  

Sitting around waiting and hoping will get you no where.Also, history seems to repeat itself.  

Maybe do flips or something so I'm not just sitting stagnant.Any advice?
