This knowledge is essential Assuming you source a good deal (with multiple potential exit strategies), I would then bring in a capital partner to fund the down payment or Property acquisition…and get some sort of sweat equity (depending on your experience and value brought to table) and then invest the $10,000 you do have into the deal itself to add your stake, add some skin to the game and align your interest with your capital partner.

Would love to chat with any agents with section 8 property, HUD, experience, and in-depth knowledge of their market to help find deals that pencil. 

Good luck on your journey and feel free to reach out if you ever need any guidance or advice.

Also, a 3-month try before you lease may be the issue, tenants are using it as an MTR, it gives them far too much wiggle room, and that short-term turnover can start hitting you in the pockets pretty hard...With that said some incentives you can offer are the first and last months rent-free for a 12-month lease.

I'm new to investing (1 rental property) and I'm wanting to also get my real estate license to better my knowledge and success in this industry.

I highly recommend it.If you have any other questions or need any bookkeeping or tax help, please feel free to reach out.
