We are older and my daughter is grown and we are looking to have enough passive income to live in and a little extra.

Part of the problem is I am in a situation where I can increase my J.O.B. income about an extra $80k a year for a few years or more if I want but it will require travel and high stress so I won't be able to focus on wholesaling.

I am wondering if anyone has recommendations for a good property manager with extensive experience with low income housing/section 8 tenants.

Income and credit play a part, but not as much like a conventional lender.Get a HML, fix, flip, repeat.

However, just for purely deal analysis purposes based on the amount of gross income, I'd like to know what you'd pay for it.

I am looking for a lender that has loans that work like hard money but longer terms (2+ years) and  the criteria for the loan would be mainly the asset and not my personal debt/income ratio.

She is looking for freelance work to bring in some extra money.I can utilize her for working on my social media presence, SEO, and some other administrative tasks around marketing.I have already told her that it will probably be small tasks to start out with and I can't pay her anything steady until I start getting more deals and bring in more income as I scale.Curious what everyone is paying for this type of work?

It will ofset the income on your taxes.

As you said, we are pretty young in american market (but not in France where the income from rental cannot compete with what we can find in the us)What I mean by cap rate is annual NOI / money invested.

If you HAVE to put a rule of thumb on it I would say 50% of gross income goes to operating expenses, but again this fluctuates highly depending on the specific property.
