Having done 12 flips you are experienced to do flips on any market.

I want to live in one unit and rent out the other unit to help pay off the mortgage, then buy another spot when I have enough saved up as a vacation home.

Buy from their off sale lists.  

It will be difficult for you to learn how to manage rentals on your own, particularly in the most litigious corner of the world.I would consider working for a professional property management company if I were you.

It is easier for me because I have basically the opposite of ADHD, but putting everything on Google Calendar and blocking out what you want to do each week usually starts to work wonders if someone sticks to it.

Facebook groups have useful information, but tend to be about 75 percent spam or sham so you have to be careful in there.

In general, it is tough to find landlords that will take Section 8 (at least at the level of house I provide, B/B+) and so you'll get plenty of interest. 

I am looking to network on here and learn a lot from you all !

Why did you hire them to begin with?

Are there better returns to be had renting to EDEN housing assistance renters, or should I stick to cash-paying tenants?
