Look, I have no idea who Eric is, what type of person he is but I will say after a quick search I saw that he did in fact sell his company for MAJOR $$$ and that he is active in Section 8, no idea if his course is good or garbage but still felt the urge to respond because I am so tired of hearing SCAMMER, find it online to EVERY SINGLE post asking about any course. anyone who actually sells their business and nets 110 mil is NOT going to dive into Section 8 or any real estate for that matter other than fine personal residences etc.. they retire and spend it.. so I dont think so.Plus section 8 is simply not complicated its run by the Sec 8 folks in each city.. nothing magical about that.. its a tough way to go being a section 8 landlord lots of drama.

So you are suggesting like me tryin to by a single family residence or a apartment unit and live in one of the units and rent the rest out as a house hacking strategy?  

I have the funds available today for the purchase of a rental property as well as a primary residence, but I also want to set myself and my wife up to reach financial freedom.  

@John Leeagree with being picky with where you live and your primary residence. 

Purchase price: $350,000 Cash invested: $50,000 Sale price: $550,000 I acquired this property in 2015 and used it as my primary residence for two years.

Investment Info:Single-family residence buy & hold investment.

Tenants may not occupy residence without utility service except during brief interruptions beyond your control.

That's a residents approach, not an investors. 

And consulting with a local attorney to ensure compliance with state-specific real estate laws, plus making sure you have the necessary permits, is a smart move.As you start, also look into state-specific rules regarding contractors and renovations, especially if you plan to flip in different states from where you reside.

I have had wholesalers call me on my personal residence and tell me it comps at 650k.. when in fact its worth closer to 1.4 mil all day..
