I have 25 properties in Memphis, and they cash flow $80-$100K per year, or $50K-$70K after CapEx.But that's with a conservative strategy, not the Section 8/BRRRR gurus path -- totally agree there are some scam artists out there.

Outright scams. -  these are like the famous “Nigerian Scam” , i.e., “my cousin is the Prince of Nigeria and has $2 billion tied up in petrodollars; if you send me $20k US I will share half with you when he receives it” 2.

Agent spam is not terrible outside of Columbus, but the general spam from lenders is CATASTROPHIC and I report all of it.Speaking of catastrophic lending, I was almost scammed by this guy, Justin Nguyen, who contacted me on BP.

He's still out there promoting...just not this as he's on to other things....hopefully not another scam.
