If that is the case a home equity line of credit may be a easier and cheaper option that will allow you access to those funds and greater flexibility.

My 2 main goals with real estate is to start up a wholesale and rehab business along with acquiring many rental properties to build my passive income.

@Tom HermanUsually not a good idea.You'll lose the capital gains exemption.You'll only have access to hard money or commercial lenders.You would need to speak with an accountant and get a serious opinion on it to see if it makes sense...

If it is apart of the process, what are strategies you guys use to help these struggling people come up with a plan so that they can move out, so you can acquire the property?

They partner with me because of the experience I bring to the table, and the access to off market deals.  

So far we have acquired 7 single family homes and a 6 plex but we are quickly realizing that if we are to scale to where I can eventually replace my income, we need to do this on a much larger scale.  

When I consider what I bring to the table, it's access to capital (not deals or experience).

I'm looking at a SFR home with a section 8 tenant in place and would like to stay, my question is how do I go about acquiring the section 8 tenant would I fill out some type of form to have the payments made to me?

Just wanted to let you know I’ll need the driveway left accessible for myself or my tenants in the future.

Some of the reasons I'm considering on making the jump into this area is because they are steadily continuing to develop at a crazy rate, it has good highway access, the neighbors are cool and the location to the shopping center makes it ideal.
