Tell me the books, the courses, the websites, the certifications-- whatever you think I need to know to not be as ignorant as I am now. 

@Ricardo CuadrosThere's a website for section 8 housing called https://www.affordablehousing.com/ .

section 8 rents tend to be higher because the vouchers are higher in certain ZIP Codes.I'm looking to understand if there are specific websites or ways to get into the case worker list at McKinney and Fort Worth to find section 8 tenantsi know of affordablehousing.com / zillow / Redfin for listing rentals. 

Are there any groups, websites, or other resources you recommend?

The real estate website expects Toledo home sales to increase by 14 percent next year, because the lure of low-cost housing has sparked a surge of buyers.Both buyers looking for a place to live and investors planning to renovate and rent find Toledo attractive, according to the real estate website.

If you are able to go onto the HOAs website and download their CCRs, you should be able to get a clear idea on what their rental policies are. 

Maybe Spark is coming in to these deals as a co-sponsor, meaning they are making their money from the GP side, not you, per se.Based on what I saw on their website, it appears they are syndicating into their own offering, since you invest with them into their LLC/Partnership structure, then they use that LLC to invest into, say, Rise48 deal.  

In addition, Houfy is a direct booking website that mimics the look and feel of Airbnb in terms of user experience.

Having a website is definitely a good idea.

Besides private websites controlled by the brokerage houses themselves and the MLS, there isn't much left.
