We used an FHA loan, putting down 3.5%, and after closing costs and points, our total upfront investment came out to around $80,000.

However, I was lucky enough to be put in contact with our area hospital's HR Recruiter who has had a few of their corporate employees stay at our properties.

The link I put in above, however, is how underwriters are going to do it.

Sorry for the confusion, I am buying and holding SFH homes and putting a section 8 tenant in there.

Hey @Matthew AllenIt’s a creative strategy that could work in the right circumstances, but there are some risks to consider.

You're going against folks like me and plenty others that are going to put on. 

If you're a wholesaler, dont risk your deposit, and don't waste our time (unless you have a sweet off market deal!)

Welcome to BP.My biggest piece of advice is to understand risk premiums in real estate.

Put them in collections and get as much from them as you possibly can!

It's free to attend and will put you in the room with wholesalers, contractors, lenders, fellow investors, and property managers.If you decide to go, let me know and I'll introduce you around.
