Hi Tyler,  I am curious how many Section 8 tenants you have had 1s hand knowledge of? 

On the other hand, now that I AM FLIPPING houses,  I know that "questions" are exactly how property managers and contractors give you the run around, delay things, and make excuses.

Or do you think you could have become who you are today by living at home for an additional handful-several years? 

Or they could do their own strategic foreclosure stop paying rip the rents as long as you can and hand he keys back you will see lots of this coming up.

Given your background, especially with your general contractor's license and hands-on experience with rehabs, transitioning more into real estate seems like a natural progression.Here are a few thoughts:Potential of Real Estate vs.

Local handyman that has an extra set of hands might do it, but it's really a 3 man job for effeciency. 

He's been hosting STR in Cleveland for many years and knows the market/area like the back of his hand!

They're offering about 75k worth of incentives, and I'm allowed to use that in a variety of ways.I'm lowering the price by 65k, and using the rest towards closing costs so I can have cash on hand for the next property. 

I agree, but as a new investor, there are things you may not foresee if you’ve not had first hand experience or if someone had not told you to beware.That's the reason for this post.

(Purchase price somewhere in the $600k range)The property should bring in around $45-$55k/yr running as an STR and there's already a manager at the building if you want to be completely hands off.Add me and send me a DM if you're interested in submitting an offer on something like this.
