Numbers don't lie and in todays world I don't know any investor given the choice who would want there money tied up in a mortgage with this  as a viable alternative to have liquid damn cash.

El Paso cash flows beautifully with minimum down payment and has plenty of choices.

I also agree that networking with brokers is useful, I was a broker for 15 years, but the choice isn't between networking with brokers or joining a mastermind to network with investors.

Hi All,First time looking into Section 8 investment property in Berwick, ME. What is the experience with this program - Pro/Cons, watch outs, etc?.  Is there $$ to be made as an investor? Thanks in advance

It comes down to choices.. 

If you want better cash flow, 35805, 35810, 35816, and 35811 are likely the choices. 

After talking with an operator I felt he was a good choice for a tenant and he mad a great offer above market for the apartment so we agreed.In the past I would usually rent my own units and to stay competitive I would keep an eye on the rentals in the area and try to be one step above if I could....This time that was a little tougher as the neighborhood hasn't gotten very trendy. 

It just may be another bad choice made. 

If so, I'd 1) join a real estate investing mastermind that focuses on your asset class of choice (multifamily, industrial, storage, etc.) and learn as much as I could - it's worth the $10k-$20k in both knowledge and connections.

You have a few choices, right.
