From what you say, a section 8 is carefully regulated but in this instance it seems it wasn't.

So, you'd say a better deal would be to find deals, via marketing and or/driving for dollars, and THEN use these resources, in conjunction with county records, to research the local properties that I've found?

I'd say a CFD/L-C is not a good idea at this time

Quick question: Say a home was schedule to be sold at auction, Does that necessarily mean that it WAS sold?

I will say, a good tenant can make you, and a bad one will break you.Since renting the unit is not urgent, I say pass on both of them.

Miguel, I would say a college degree is well worth it, especially since you are on full scholarship in a high-demand and high paying field.

Example say a 10 units is 300,000.

I was picking his brain about the local situation in re: investing in say, a flip or at least, wholesaling.

I'm thinking maybe if I can get the owner's enough cash now that I could have them owner finance it to me and if I'm cash flowing I could keep the tenant in their for say, a year, and if they can't buy it then I could rehab and sell retail at that point.These are ex-military people.

I can say a bedroom at my grandma's house is mine too but that doesn't mean its my principal residence.
