@Hugo Alves - Just to clarify, SEC 8 approves the rent amount and dictates what portion will be paid by HUD and how much the tenant will pay.  

- Would you be willing to sell a portion of your stocks to pull out some funds, OR, can you get a line of credit against your stock portfolio? 

Income fluctuates tremendously in most 1099 real estate occupations (being a Realtor included) so having that put away will be vital to your comfort and peace of mind as you get started.(1) figure out how your minimum monthly income needs (this may change as you move to a different city and get out of college life, so estimates are fine for now)(2) cut out everything extra until you've put away 6 months reserves(3) live way below your means so you have extra money to save and investGood luck and congratulations!

Tenants pay a portion of their income toward rent, and the program covers the rest.### 2.

I would like to get into seller financing and subject to deals but don't really fully understand the payments portion of it.

- Do I need to look at Zoning to rent a portion of my primary residence? 

Their are few, if any instances I can think of where a property owner would perceive that giving up the major portion of 10 years of appreciation on a $200,000 property for $5,000 cash while “tying up” said property for same time is advantageous.  

Lease-to-Own or Rent-to-Own: Offer lease-to-own agreements where a portion of the rent goes toward the property’s purchase.

Hello all, I'm curious how much the HUD will actually pay compared to the 40th percentile rents posted on their site.I'm aware of the different amounts each tenant will cover in terms of their portion of the rent, but I'm not sure if the HUD will actually agree to my rent price.I've been taking the stated FMR for the bedroom count, and taking 20% off the number stated (to be conservative as to what the HUD will accept). 

Hi there,Given your financial situation and the fact that you can invest a significant portion of your income (60-65%), focusing on property flipping in high-growth areas like Bali or the UAE could indeed be a wise move, especially while you have the time and energy to actively manage the process.
