HI @Paige GardnerI can send you HML recommendations and wholesalers. 

I strongly encourage NOT paying a RA or brokerage DST commission, which is why I used and recommend Sera Capital.

For example, I would recommend touching base with local landlords in the market you're wanting to do section 8 investing in to get a feel for how the local section 8 office handles landlord/office relationships. 

If you are looking to expand your knowledge I highly recommend the webinars BP offers. 

I do manage some properties near ACU & HSU and I would highly recommend that area. 

Ooops Did you work with any real estate professionals (agents, lenders, etc.) that you'd recommend to others?

For lenders, I have access to private money lenders or if you want to go the traditional route, I recommend checking out Coast to Coast - Jeff Weller. 

Feel free to reach out for some recommendations. 

@Michael Nelson - I'd recommend you speak with @Devin Peterson

BiggerPockets also has a calculator to analyze deals, and I highly recommend you start this as soon as possible, even if you are not ready to buy.
