Is the land owned outright or are there loans in place. 

Good agents will always be worth it

Experience and Knowledge:Experience: A little over a year owning my first rental.Expertise: Still learning about all aspects.

Pays $950Since I inherited the tenant, and the prior owner never raised the rent of section 8.When I emailed DCA agent with the increase, I told her i wanted to raise it closer to the HUD FMR.

So would you say that living independently was very transformative and a critical step in becoming the investor you are today? 

I have spent lots of time in places that had mini splits but don't own any properties that have them.

I've been reading a ton about real estate, and I'd be interested in becoming an investment-friendly real estate agent.

I'd personally talk to some contractors, and local real estate agents, and do some more connecting on here to get some more opinions from more seasoned veterans. 

@Khayla WilliamsI strongly recommend against borrowing 100% for a propertyThere is significant risk in owning real estate including section 8 and maintaining the home in a certain condition and if you do t have the funds for those repairs you could lose it all.I always recommend people budget and save enough for a down payment and reserves before getting into their first property.

I have $70K of my own money I can use as a down-payment, but am looking for someone to finance the rest ($280K) as I'm a real estate agent and am having difficulty securing a loan from a traditional bank in a timely matter.
