I searched the site and forums, but for whatever reason (user error i'm sure) I'm not finding the referrals i'm looking for. Can anyone who lives/invests in the DFW Metroplex point me in the right direction of a Local...

Wanted to seek opinions from experts/pro's- are deals/ads posted in craiglist for Realestate sale reliable/worth looking in to?

@Pinny LubinskyWhen a property is going to need considerable Cap Ex upon purchase the buyer will typically seek a loan to coast loan.

Hey BP Community,I am currently seeking some advice and experience from individuals who have been in a situation like myself to better understand so I can decide the most logical and strategic decision.My partner has a 1031 Exchange for X amount.

@Kati Finneran Hey Kati...first, good for you...by using BP, and seeking advice, you are practicing risk management...this is an excellent characteristic and one that should be expanded upon going forward...second (and the following advice/statements are very general in nature as I have no knowledge of your deal's specifics or your personal situation), I would move forward if you are willing to educate yourself on the nuances of being a Section 8 landlord...there are some important government-related strings that come attached with subsidized housing...third, I would move forward if you can secure financing that is acceptable to your situation...fourth, I love the HH strategy and were I you, I would make a small investment in Craig Curelop's book "The House Hacking Strategy" so as to learn as much as possible about the approach...finally, in response to your last question, we are always looking to acquire the right investment - always!
