Go to the section 8 office and tell them that you are a prospective landlord and you are considering sect 8 renters and want to speak with someone about the program.

Welcome to BiggerPockets Marcus H.If you can run a successful web app business, you'll definitely be able to crush it in REI once you take the time to learn the ropes and develop your plan/strategy.

I'm not quite sure on the exact procedural details (as far as the contracts and paperwork would go), but I've been browsing around the site, and I'm sure I'll keep running into good information.I'm really looking for any potential partners or mentors in Gainesville that could help me develop in this aspect.

The area has appreciated for housing values due to some new developments coming in and the area becoming an "art-sy" area of town, and so the house is now worth about $120K+ (I've owned the house for about a decade).

I would also ask for more than 30 days notice and ask that they work with you to allow you to show the home to prospective renters in the last month they are there.

Develop a business plan and work the plan.Have your ducks in a row and consider all the possibilities.

And many times, the very reason that the houses are available cheap (elderly owners, divorce, "drama," and so on) will make it very easy to forget about your emailed offer - or even your phone call or letter.IMHO, you need to be there in person, looking someone in the eye, solving their problem, making it very difficult to say "no" to you, and making it easier for you to overcome any objections.A salesperson who waits for prospects to call him back will starve, for sure...

This is can be a slow developing problem that must be addressed eventually.

You can and should keep looking, if nothing else to develop a stable of lenders you can count on and as your deals fit their specific criteria.

I've talked to people from around the world calling me for info on development.
