My elderly parent has a house and land to sell (~300k).  

If the church is active, you could consider airbnb for people coming in for weddings, baptisms and funerals.

As others have mentioned, most people in your situation go with a DSCR loan.

From your tenant's perspective; you purchased the duplex, jacked up his rent, and moved a bunch of people in next door.

Where do people find a trustworthy credit partner?

Although we may see more inventory hit the market as people can escape "rate lock".I invest in today's market by searching hundreds of properties on the MLS, then going to see the top 10-20, then making an offer on the best at a price where I can cashflow after all expenses and putting 25% down.

Learn your market inside and out and build a team of people around you who can help you analyze deals and make moves.

Hey guysI started to do section 8 and i have a question lately i feel section 8 no paying according to the table sheet they have online in government website, they having appraiser do comps and paying as regular long term rental maybe a bit more but not tremendously. i called them , emailed and all but that is their strategy now , so i asked why they put wrong info on website, seems like they want to lure Landlords lol ..for example https://dhantx.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/FY24-Payment-S...You can see zip code 76227 with 5 bedroom showing $4921 (less bills $500) so its $4221.but actually people getting $2800-3000 how come it is ?

I want to get all my pictures pre & post and come up with a Company Webpage for people to see our work / results and probably be interested in investing / doing some kind of business with us.

Navigating the lending and finding people to partner with is an obstacle I’m learning currently.
