@Abel Rodriguez Make sure you know what's involved with Sec 8 rentals.

Shame on any lender who allows you to get into that.Though maybe short term, you're looking for a normal (probably private) loan, Milton, for which I bet you'll have to qualify.

This will now make it much easier for agents and brokers to share and maintain information so cap rates in the area will become more transparent to realtors.As of right now your best bet on getting cap rates for particular property types is by contacting commercial brokers or commercial lenders.

It has been a few months since I have been in the area, but I would say that your best bet for a cash flowing property would be heading towards Hermitage on Route 70 or south of I40 heading towards Gladeville.

brokerage community is your best bet.

So given my situation... great credit, stable job, good source of income best bet would be conventional.

So it is like a car transaction in terms of title.But based on the integrity of the numbers involved it should be treated like a real estate transaction.

Your best bet, as I see it, would be to live there and purchase another property as a rental, or sell and move into something more suited for a rental/house hack.

Networking, investor meetings, helping people.If you create value for someone, they'll create value for youBut I shouldn't lie:  doing the closings and being involved in that way probably shows me a lot of them

Where I can find those tax amounts from an independent source (read: not involved in the RE transaction) in order to analyze the deal?
