I mean these are deep rooted squatters in the community , they have weekend Cookouts and Neighborhood watch meetings and the whole 9 yards. ( Well maybe not the community watch meetings, But definitely cookouts. he Burgers were Delicious.)

I was wondering if anyone here had been through the process and could tell me the things to watch out for.

I would youtube biggerpockets and watch some of the previous podcasts.

I was watching a video where the investor bought a home with equity built in held the property for a year then did a cash refinance and made money for his next investment.

I've always loved houses and the real estate market but I never thought about it as a career until I started watching HGTV to get some ideas for decorating my new house about 10 years ago and got obsessed with house hunting shows which led to renovation and flipping shows.

It's a good way to scale in my opinion if you are doing it right and watching your numbers.

I stumbled across BiggerPockets while watching YouTube videos about Real Estate investing.

I have read many books and watched many webinars, while obtaining a BA degree in real estate.

and what I should watch out for when screening Section 8 tenants?

It's amazing all the BS you have to watch out for as a property owner.I got a letter from an inspector that someone at a property I own had been involved in illegal dumping and I had to pay a $525 fine.I asked the tenants if they knew anything about it and they denied involvement.I tried calling the inspector every day for a month and only got a voicemail.
