I decided to get liscenced as a home inspector and utilize my knowledge in building science so I can add value to others but also so that I could immerse myself in the real estate industry and show investors that I am taking this seriously.

Your approach to investing in real estate through purchasing foreclosed homes at local auctions and utilizing the BRRRR (Buy, Rehab, Rent, Refinance, Repeat) strategy, especially with a focus on Section 8 housing, is a proactive and potentially lucrative path.

Once the company sends out an email telling their customers that they are their "family" you know everything else after that is going to be a line of b/s and deflection lol.I hope you are well.

If you have zero vacancies, zero tenant damage, make sure utilities (especially heat) stay on every winter even if the tenant doesn’t pay.  

You cannot use rental income above your mortgage payment to help qualify for a larger mortgage, but you can utilize 100% of the lease income to offset so that should help you qualify for more of a mortgage. 

I didn't, and the people at Eagle Rock, who approved permits and necessary utility connections, were not very cooperative, which made the process more stressful than it had to be.I've seen lots listed on Zillow and the Aggressive Real Estate web site. 

Add utilities, lawn and pool care $800-1000.

I know people that are really good at their trade (plumbing, cleaning, electrician, etc) but they don't have financial discipline, they don't know how to market, they suck at customer service, they don't use tools to their advantage, etc.Cody Sanchez (lady in the video) buys different types of businesses and makes them profitable by applying basic business disciplines.

If you’re looking for speed, flexibility, and a customized solution for your investment, private money lending is a great choice, even if the interest rate is higher.

Regarding property management, utilizing local property managers can save you time, and using PropStream effectively for filtering properties by distress level and location will certainly help with finding stronger deals.
