ya I dont really understand why folks want to dive into section 8 and instead of buying props that can be rented at market rents. 

I did do business with fellow in Charleston SC.. and he paid 100k for training.. when at lunch one day he stepped me through it, he did a deep dive.. this guy only took on 7 clients per year and it was a year long process.. and the clients had to spend a lot of time at his offices for hands on training..

I had to work with them to dig a conduit ditch  8 feet deep to get a transformer added.

You’re neck deep in Paralysis of Analysis, a virus more debilitating than the Spanish flu, Bubonic Plague, and the latest virus du jour, Covid.I’m no different than you. . .well, I’m Italian, so I’m a better cook and I have three Uncle Tony’s who collect my rents.

For example my simple spruce up would be, renno bathroom, and kitchen, paint, and redo carpet upstairs.But if i think real deep into what I could do to make it a STUNNER then I think, knock down walls, create more open/broken floor plan, add central air, possibly do an addition to add a 3rd bedroom and second bath.So when you could do ANYTHING .. how do you draw the line of what you should do?

Great to see you diving in!

It’s fantastic that you and your wife are diving into this together—especially with her passing the real estate exam.

So if you have deep enough pockets I'd hold the property for longer and refi into a conventional loan if possible.

., 100% off on data. 5 properties, so not a "deep dive", But enough to give me concern on this platform.

@Chris SeveneyI agree the sponsor is the most important factor, but passive investors can not ignore what they are trying to accomplish, and have a deep understanding of the business.The trinity!
