For a newbie investor, if you’re comfortable with the process and ready to manage the administrative side, Section 8 can be a solid option.

I read the permitting process and it seems somewhat strict.

I found the son on Facebook and sent a quick intro giving my condolences, expressed my interest in purchasing the property, and provided my phone # in case he decides to follow up.I'm in the process of preapproval with a couple lenders, and have reached out to a couple realtors in my area to see which may be a good fit.

I am in the process of vetting property managers and they are int he running.

Speaking of iteration, allow me to share with you the iterations and processes we go through in our Multi-unit Acquisition Program: After a client gets pre-approved for financing, we go through multiple deals to find the best ones that meet our metrics.

However if you understand the process already and what you're trying to achieve and just looking for someone to do it for you, then I would search a bit more to price compare and then make your informed decision.

Over half of my clients are remote Buyers, so I've gone through the STR transition process with lots of investors over the past few years.

You'll definitely need more time to get things processed.

I know this is above and beyond what most municipalities require, but being fair will make the whole process easier.Additionally, a new landlord can reduce the 60-90-day notice by offering more moving assistance (cash and/or labor) if they move sooner rather than later.

Don't be afraid of the process!
