Do any of you have recommendations for solid:-contractors-insurance agents-attorneys-property management company-mortgage brokers?

@Matthew Crivelligreat responses! 

Hi Nathan,THANK YOU for your response.

I agree with John about settling on a property and running the numbers.However, if it were me once the market and property were identified I would form an LLC with an operating agreement that states what each members contribution and responsibilities are. 

Solid market if you buy right and in the right location.

Once you have managing it down and you've got some experience then you may want to consider making it section 8 eligible.I imagine you're going to get lots of responses telling you to avoid section 8 all together.

Thank you for your well thought out response, that will go a long a way as a start to get the process exact, including room for error, if something changes along the way.  

Educate yourself on the local market, network with other investors and agents, and always have a solid plan in place before making any investments.

The Jackson Housing Authority is responsive and supportive.
