If you choose to self manage, for starters, follow the HUD screening best practices and that will help tremendously. 

Any chance it's oversaturated with rentals because of the tremendous growth and press?

The exception will be wholesalers and aggressive off-market deal finding professionals who may use it to automate a tremendous amount of marketing. 

Look for people that have owned for over 10 years, and get it from them off market even at a deep discount and do the work of fixing it up and renting it for higher, or if you want to buy on market I'd definitely recommend offering below asking, as most multifamily that hits the market in these areas are tremendously over priced. 

All facts, figures, and numbers must be verified such as verifying the HOA fees or the annual property taxes by looking at the city's website.The MLS offers a place for agents, buyers, and sellers to go so there is tremendous value there.

I've heard a tremendous amount about using promotional 0% interest business credit cards to fund buy-and-hold investment deals.

Hey guysI started to do section 8 and i have a question lately i feel section 8 no paying according to the table sheet they have online in government website, they having appraiser do comps and paying as regular long term rental maybe a bit more but not tremendously. i called them , emailed and all but that is their strategy now , so i asked why they put wrong info on website, seems like they want to lure Landlords lol ..for example https://dhantx.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/FY24-Payment-S...You can see zip code 76227 with 5 bedroom showing $4921 (less bills $500) so its $4221.but actually people getting $2800-3000 how come it is ?

My neighbor converted his garage into a bedroom with about the same square footage as mine, so I believe it will add tremendous value.

Our hospitals bring many people into the area, and we are going to see a tremendous increase in health care to take care of the 50,000 or more new residents that are projected to move here. 

Secondly, getting involved and getting around people actually doing deals that you can bounce situations off of will help tremendously as you're on this journey.
