Hi Aidan, when you first started you can create your partnership agreement per deal depending on what your end goal is for the property. 

we are pretty high that is for sure. 

If one has high living expenses, cash flow doesn't mean much and I definitely understand going for appreciation first.

You should find out what percentage of the rent is being paid by S8 and by the tenant.Tenants have to sign the rent increase and some won't because they don't want their payment portion increasing.It's also highly unlikely a S8 office will approve the huge increase from $797 to $1300.- BTW: the $1300 includes all utilities being paid by the landlord.

I'd keep 70% as a base and shoot for 90%+ on the high end.I think I'd be pretty happy with 90%. 

At the end of the education, we'll you'll have an education. 

Thats very highly unlikely. 

At the end of the day if you run your numbers and analyze like 10 properties a day, and every single day scour the internet for anything new, you will eventually find something that works and know it almost immediately.

Foreclosures aren't a super big source of leads though and most end up on the MLS anyways so they many people will see them.
