It sounds like you have a great background for investing as well as assisting other real estate investors in buying suitable real estate. 

IE - if any units are receiving Section 8 vouchers or other forms of housing assistance, Freddie & Fannie only look at the tenant paid portion of rent when determining whether or not the unit is Mission Driven @ 80% AMI levels.For example, let’s stick to the 2-bedroom $2500 Mission Driven 80% AMI cutoff example above.

So for the first property which will cost over $1 mil to construct, there will be stacked loans, essentially $280K will come from loan assistance program,( the name is not correct but the same idea).

3.Any recommendations for contractors or permit expediters in Covington who can assist with this process?

In cities like Cleveland, Columbus, and Cincinnati, you could buy multiple properties for the same $200K-$250K you’d spend on one in a pricier market.

I'm in the greater Boston area and I wasn't able to fully live for free but I was spending about $700 on my unit.

GEt some Credit Cards, spend a little every month and pay off, then get higher limits and repeat.

I think of it like an employee or personal assistant.

I went from growing up in a hut in Vietnam and spending my early years in Section 8 housing in the U.S. to now owning four cash-flowing properties (8 units) across three states.

I just can’t imagine how everyday people spend this much money on pipe.I don’t think insurance covers any of the foundation repair, also wonder if insurance will cover any of the sewer line repair work?
