Sometimes I have even directed troubled tenants towards assistance programs (such as single moms because there are a lot of programs for them specifically in my area especially).

I'm not sure if the program is still going on, but has definitely revitalized a lot of the area when it was once destined to follow the way of other older cities that are aging out of existence both in terms of people and property. 

I would like a book or program recommendations in order to learn how to purchase and manage the extended stay hotel.

Just remember the property must be owned by the IRA, and you can’t personally manage or use it—all income/expenses need to stay within the IRA.2.First-Time Homebuyer Program:  This is what @Arthur Flores was mentioning. 

It's essential for me to acquire these skills as I navigate potential roles in the real estate industry.If you have any insights, recommendations, or perhaps know of specific training programs or resources for learning Yardi, I would greatly appreciate your guidance.

What is the experience with this program - Pro/Cons, watch outs, etc?. 

I would probably take the risk at $500, but $1k feels more of a ripoff like most guru programs.

While they mostly aren't lying, they leave out a lot of reality.Why would a government funded program like S8 pay MORE than market rents?

Our team works exclusively with out-of-town investors and have the support program in place to help build a strong portfolio.

There are good people who utilize supportive programs.
