Thanks Bill W.I selected this location because it is centrally-located.

For others who wonder how to start your search, go to the HUD , Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac home search websites.  

Sidetrackig into the websites of member whoses sites are chock full of valuable information.First started dabbling in real estate about 10 years ago, bought a small complex of five commercial buildings in a tourist area, spend a year renovated them and rented them out.

It seems to me a larger owner could influence the manager to direct tenants towards them and away from my property)*The property management company has a terrible website, and it begs the question how competent and reliable they may be*It is my understanding that I pay the management fee regardless of vacancy, however I'm not sure on that, perhaps someone who has had prior experience with these type of communities could tell me how they are normally structured.I apologize if I don't quite have the RE vocabulary down, but hopefully you folks can provide some advice and help me get my start in real estate!

Sure miss the old bid select when offers could be made in 10 seconds !

I make my selection for Section 8 tenant as i do with regular tenants.
