Hi Angelo, we operate a property management company with about 400 units in the Greater Nashville area. 

You can start networking and contacting realtors, contractors, property managers, etc... to build your "Core 4."

There are many options available that can get you 7+% return on average per year, one of them being investing passively in large apartment complexes with experienced operators. 

It would hurt me at my core.

Today not many bank owned properties and even it is they're ok with it as long as you can provide operating agreement and articles of incorporation to ensure arms length transaction.

The official term for SEC8 is the Housing Choice Voucher - with choice being the operative word.  

@Matt Gilroy  I live and operate a residential property business in Washington State.

Without too much effort (and after quickly responding to and fixing some of the things that needed improvement when just starting out), short term renting on Airbnb ended up covering our breakeven costs for those 3 months.Last week our daughter and the other students moved in, so the house is now operating in student rental mode. 

In your area look for the potential economic drivers that are operational today that may attract outside investment.

Please correct me if I am missing some line items here, but here are the working numbers for the property:+ Gross Rental Income: $150,000- Cleaning Fees: ($21,600)- Management Fees:  ($19,260)- Property Taxes: ($3,700)- Insurance: ($2,400)- Trash & Local Tax: ($650)- Utilities: ($7,200)- Pest Control ($560)- Supplies/Maintenance: ($1200)- Acct/Legal: ($1500)TOTAL EXPENSES = ($58,070)Net Operating Income = $91,930---Based on my limited understanding of the local CAP rates for similar properties in Philadelphia, PA 19106 it looks like 5-6% is a realistic number.
