The higher credit, higher income, gainfully employed S8 tenants are choosy about where they live and do not want to live in a bad, high crime area.By buying in an area that appeals to high quality S8 tenants, the arbitrage that you might see between S8 being higher than market might disappear.So that being said, it’s more important to lead by location than strategy.Happy to talk further if you like.  

Really your reply is the kind of thing that has made Bigger Pockets so valuable for people like me with more limited access to a broad range of more experienced professionals.

My personal experience after 40 + years in the real estate industry is that “wholesaling” is a very INEFFICIENT AND INEFFECTIVE way to gain knowledge and experience relative to real estate.

Thank you for taking the time to share your valuable knowledge and experience

@Kyle Cross, correct me if I'm wrong, but I think maybe what you're getting at is potentially pitching to your parents that you would like to take a shot at personally managing the units to gain experience and some form of compensation.

I personally do have experience with renovations, and being a landlord and have done a few flips some went well and some did not and I have learned some valuable lessons along the way.

A deal killer has nothing to gain from telling you it's a bad deal.

Business is valuable and this has not been a great year for the property management industry.

Thank you for the valuable advice!

I am excited about gaining more knowledge and deals!
