Hi EdwardThe main benefits of section 8 include guaranteed rent payments from the government, which can provide a steady income stream and reduce the risk of vacancies or non-payment.

To find value on residential 1-4 unit properties you could ask your realtor to run comps or complete a CMA(Comparative Market Analysis) on a subject property once you find it.or you can find the value on your own.We use prop stream to run comps. 

The part that I can see being the most beneficial to us, personally, is the "REI Hub" which is the accounting piece that you can opt to pay for as part of your monthly subscription.

It's a hub for startups, venture capital, and cutting-edge research.

If you pay cash, you don't have a payment, but effectively you are giving up an income stream if the cash had been in a bond or ETF and earning you either interest or appreciation. 

Co-living, on the other hand, mitigates this risk by creating multiple income streams.

If you are near a major city like Austin, you will always have a stream of guests you can find.

I know you want to go full time and jump in, but I'd recommend staying with your day job as long as you can - it makes your life a lot more comfortable to have a steady stream of income to pay the bills every month!

I actually just did a live stream yesterday on my channel (youtube.com/@brady_morgan) that went over this exactly.
