@Rich Davis "The difference is I'm in Maine, where the evictions laws lean landlord friendly.

Not sure why the process would be any difference for a voucher holder in a duplex or single family.

The northland MAREI meeting and the main monthly meeting at MAREI have a minimal fee, or for $99 a year you can attend all of them for no extra charge - northland is in person, the main meeting is still online, both are great ways to connect and learn. 

Quote from @Nick Henry: Hi there - I am starting out in real estate investing and am trying to build a portfolio of rentals that can produce enough cash flow for me to eventually leave my job and make real estate my main job.

My main concern is that you underestimate how much time/effort this will take.

Chase told me that they will focus mainly on the property's financial and borrower's net worth and liquidity.

Of course, for some they would not want to do anything different than what they already are doing.

My main goals with these initial projects are:1.Gaining valuable insights into the local market.2.Getting hands-on experience with out-of-state investing, particularly when it comes to remodels and managing from afar.3.Testing the entire BRRRR process to see if it’s the right strategy for me long-term.If all goes well, I’d love to scale up and explore multi-family projects.

For me my main goal and I achieve was being able to put them through collage on  my dime and then set them loose with no burden financially.

I think it is different if you live there, speak the language, know the market.
