Section 8 can be very profitable if you know what you're doing.I strongly recommend getting some training on section 8 policy in your area - like @Deb S. says, contact your local housing authority for workshops & training on how to work with them.

Hi Rob,There are line of credits out there for investment properties, typically financed by local banks, but the rates are higher and the LTV is usually much lower.

Being from Michigan I choose to invest locally.

My partner @Jami Rahman and I are looking to network with local real estate investors in Grand Rapids.

Educate yourself on the local market, network with other investors and agents, and always have a solid plan in place before making any investments.

TCOs are through your building department, and at least locally you can ask your inspector for this.

Having said that, you are local and are clearly in a very good position to make that judgement. 

You can also reach out to local property managers who truly know their market.
