I always suggest starting with friends and family and even ask them if they know anyone who might be interested.

Should be the 3rd post by me.  

Quote from @Emory Clayton: From what I can tell, and my personal experience, you will have to lower standards so the Section 8 applicants can qualify.I'm not a fan of Section 8 because they tend to be far more problematic than tenants that pay their own bills.

There seems to be information missing - why not get it from a traditional lender?

@Roy Logancan you be more specific? 

Nothing beats a custom optimized CRM to fit your needs and how you do business.I honestly feel like everyone selling CRM try really hard to make people believe they need an "out-of-the-box" system, but this truly HAS to be customized to how you manage your leads.For Lead generation we leverage GrumpyHare. 

Great to see folks with an interest in "rough areas" - most people don't even think twice about them. 

Someone I know bought a ranch to use as a short term rental property in 2021 for $1.7 million.Engineers did a virtual site visit, they were able to assign a value of $347,000 to either 5-7-15 year assets that were eligible for depreciation.In 2021, the bonus depreciation amount that you could take was 100%.This means that the owner could immediately deduct the full amount of eligible property in the year it was placed in service, rather than depreciating it over time.With that in mind, he took the full $347K deduction in his FIRST YEAR of ownership to offset taxable income from rentals.This was roughly ~20% of his purchase price.It was a big win for him.In 2024, the bonus depreciation rate is 60% so the calculation would be different.That said, you can still save and defer a ton.

I’ve already again talked to contractors and got good estimates knocking down this one wall adds aton of value to the house.I estimate the additional amount would be $200-$300 a month after a remodel. 

They should be able to direct you much easier than any of us.
