., but it seems like a good deal. 

@Mike Vu did you end up investing in one of his deals?

Quote from @Edward Barrett: New investor here trying to stay in my local market (Dayton, OH).Since I've started looking for my first deal I've come across a few section 8 properties that seem to pencil, but I'm a bit loath to jump into that kind of deal.

One solution I see some people do is to partner with another investor on a couple of deals where each brings something to the table...more capital, experience, etc.

The 4 vacant are new rehabs I just completed.Total Rents Collected: $23,025/mo Debt Service: $12,358/mo (sad for me. 8% interest rates lol) Property Management 10%: $2,303/moReserves (Vacancy 5%, Maintenance 10%): $3,454/moPhantom Cash Flow: $8,365/moTrue Cash Flow: $4,911/mo (Money I can legit burn) Total Purchase Price: $1.573MTotal Rehab Cost: $122,617Total Cash In Deals: $539k Total Appraised Values: 1.81MHope this inspires someone.

If you have that kind of money you should be closing deals, not wholesaling them.By the way, wholesaling is NOT investing, you're not holding the properties, your trading them. 

It is a cash only deal.

If you are honest and transparent with homeowners, you'll find a consistent pipeline of deals. 

In my day job I do SEO for a digital marketing agency and I am more than happy to talk SEO with anyone who has questions.I'm interested in Long-term rentals, though admittedly, finding deals below market value and funding those deals (not to mention I honestly have no idea have to put the deals under contract in the first place), are problem the first things I'll need to learn.
