The houses I have now have always produced for me so I can't see any reason why not to continue.I've started really learning everything I can about 1yr ago and continue that venture.

In addition, it really helped me understand control of a deal and what that meant. 

So to invest in CF you have to be an investor that can give up control to someone else over the DD of your investments.  

My goal is to use seller financing or lease option to control the property, then a balloon payment in 3-5 years.

Yes it did, and I'm so glad I fought through the emotional waves, making the scary unknown into a new, exciting venture.

I will try to venture into this opportunity.

When you look at buying on terms in your state, I would buy "subject to" over installment sales contract or land contract or contract for deed or wrap around mortgage AITD-Subject to gets you the deed, -Other creative financing has less control on acquisition 

., interior or exterior damaged, pool damaged, fire damage, over grown landscaping covering the entire house, squatters.Once you take control of the problem, rehab and rent, if you purchases correctly you will have a nice amount of equity.  

Do you set your own rent amount and if it fits within the voucher then thats what they will pay or does section 8 have full control of what the rent amount will be??

For example, I hate managing projects that  have no control over.
