Educate = Read/Listen2.

It’s the city limits of incorporated Blue Ridge that you can no longer get an STR permit 

This diversification includes healthcare, with the South Texas Medical Center continuing to expand; education, with multiple universities enhancing their tech programs; and the military, with cyber command units at local bases.

I think the biggest issue, is the fact that there are so many social media influencers, with huge followings providing misinformation which leads many new investors to have a false sense of "education".

There is a lengthy discussion comparing and contrasting the "broker" and "finder" parties and their role in the transaction in the court case described here: http://law.justia.com/cases/new-york/other-courts/2010/2010-20104.htmlWhile I realize this does not apply directly to the topic at hand (Wisconsin), I and other BP members in other states should find it very informative and educational.

EDUCATE YOURSELF - yes, it will take time, but will lead to a selection that better meets your expectations & avoids potentially costly surprises!

no I have not purchased the home yet -but I’m educated and working with a realtor who understands the process.1st- you have to be a recipient of a section 8 housing choice voucher /in the program and in good standing2nd you need to be in the rental unit and in the program for a year minimum3rd you must to be in a “participating housing authority” or PHA  because not all Housing Authority’s participate in this rent voucher -to -home mortgage voucher program4th it may ( or may not) require recipient  enrolling in an additional sub program called families for Self Sufficiency ( FSS) which has a class that teaches voucher holders how to use the voucher for a mortgage payment5th I’m working with a realtor who understands the process - has used it for dozens if not hundreds of clients. it’s going to be VERY hard for anyone unfamiliar with government processes  to get through it successfully. note I’m also utilizing  first time savings plans IDA‘s and local first time homebuyer grants and a USDA 502 direct low income Rural loan. and my own funds.All aid mentioned can be “stacked” to lower mortgage & create long term affordability.  

It may not be a bad idea to have a real conversation with the tenant and educate them on your plans and how far below market they are.   

While there are some very real educators out there, there are a lot more people pedaling education as lead generator for the educators own business ventures.

@Alecia Bolton We are looking at selling a partial and most of the educational sites differ on who the Collateral belongs to.
