If you like what you find, then I strongly recommend the paid program which provides great value for a very reasonable price. 

cash and our retirement and bank fiancing How did you add value to the deal?

Generally speaking, we would encourage you to screen your tenants - whether they are section 8 or not.We would encourage you to collect a deposit - whether they are section 8 or not.A tenant can certainly be a "good" tenant or a "bad" tenant - whether they are section 8 or not.Now, if you are targeting lower valued homes...there are "pros" and "cons" to doing that - whether you are renting to section 8 or not.  

There is a lot of value in being able to invest in your backyard - the ability to check on the property any time, saving costs for not hiring property managers and knowing the area better.

I’m thinking should i add mini split to my properties but will it increase my home value 

As someone who invests heavily in Philadelphia, I can also say the price point you are targeting is going to lead you towards neighborhoods where the BBRRR strategy doesn't often lead to realized gains that correlate to the appraised values.

Anyone attend this event before and have any feedback on the value.

Depending on where these lots are you may have assessments coming which will outpace the value of the lot in just a few years.C) See aboveI am extremely bullish on Florida, SWFL, and Cape Coral in the long term.

The big drop in values was between May 2022 and Q1 2023.

I would talk to both tenants and let them know that you will be moving into one of the units and rents will be going up to market value.
