As I'm new to Section 8, just trying to understand how it actually works, versus what we see on social media :) Lesson #1 - Nothing the government does makes sense and none of the employees have any idea what they are doing.

For finding off-market properties, PropertyRadar has been a lifesaver for me.On social media, I’ve had success connecting with property owners and fellow investors through Facebook groups and LinkedIn.

Chicago's Residential Landlord and Tenant Ordinance (RLTO) and building codes require that all rental units meet zoning, health, and safety standards.

If you have limited funds, how are you going to flip the worst properties out there that cost the most and are the hardest to flip.I know social media makes it looks like no-money and low-money down investing is feasible, but probably 95 percent of the deals that are done like that are done by people with money because it's the leverage money gives them to make a deal like that to the benefit of the seller.Don't rush to get a third property that needs work on your ledger when your funds are already limited.

Quote from @Michael Smythe: @Steve K.Recommend exploring as many sources as possible to get referrals AND cross-reference them to get as much accurate information as possible.Check out NARPM.com, BP’s Property Manager Finder (BiggerPockets: The Real Estate Investing Social Network), etc.Also, encourage you to learn from the mistakes of others - by reading posts here on BiggerPockets about owners not having their expectations met by their current Property Management Company.

Thank you for your insights, I was a bit vague, honestly, I've been looking at houses since I graduated college about a year and a half ago but life was in the way, had student debt to focus on, moved to a new state with no family or friends and had to build some form of social/work foundation in my eyes when I moved from NYC to VA to make sure everything that I decide I go into the life I am balanced such that I can focus on what I want with all of my energy.I am not moving on from looking at properties, over the time I've been looking at houses I have saved, I have researched, I have made connections with real estate agents in my area, I even studied for the real estate agent test but ended up not taking it for other reasons.

What you see on social media isn't real most of the time.
