Lots of opinions and ideas on Section 8 --- we do a lot of it in Mobile, AL --- it's actually the preferred method for most of my colleagues and clients.How did most of you get your start in Section 8?

As for pay schedule I always ask how they normally prefer to get paid.

Since you prefer to stay in A and B neighborhoods I'd suggest north of Atlanta.

I do not take any risky financial decision if it will effect my family's home, but it is an individual preference.

He probably has a few connections he trusts... and he should be able to vouch for you as a customer (yearly work, total scope, pay on time, etc).Of course that also tells him you're looking past him for when he kicks the can so you'll have to figure out how to phrase that...

I agree with Don and Jon (for some reason Don Johnson's name just popped into my head...).I prefer to look for Class A and B properties in my area and 1% would be considered "good" for a MFH.

I prefer a prop mgr instead (It's a write-off too) than to be there showing a vacant unit, fixing a grbg disposal, etc.

I really prefer a line of credit instead of trying to get individual loans per property.

Face to face interaction is actually my preferred method of dealing with customers, clients, etc.I am new to the real estate business in regards to investing, but I have spent a few years negotiating bank terms and rates on the behalf of owners.My business partner has experience in real estate as a landlord/owner.We are looking for lead sources and marketing strategies to maximize our efficiency as we setup shop.

I would prefer to be able to have all the money needed to finish the rehab all the way instead of doing it in stages because I wouldn't want the property to sit for more than it has too.I did take some classes on real estate finance and development in college, but I think it would help me the most if who ever answers my question assumes I don't know anything because I'm sure I'm missing a lot of information.Thanks, joined BP just mins ago.
