What are you looking for that you can't find? 

@Lucas Schlund there are logically, 3 options:1) Buy Cash: PROS: You can get better prices on houses because you can close faster with motivated sellers and buy houses that need repairs to qualify for a mortgage (less buyer competition)CONS: takes the longest to save the funds2) Use Rehab Loan:PROS: Same as #1CONS: more expensive loans:---FHA 203(k): not that expensive, but must live in the property for 12 months before renting---DSR Rehab loan: relatively expensive and may need experience to qualify3) Mortgage on Property with Cosmetic Repairs:PROS: easiest & cheapest to doCONS: lots of competition, so can be hard to find a "deal"PM us if you'd like to discuss these in more detail.

Before you jump 2 feet into the Real Estate Investing world, I challenge you to find a balance of continuing your drive toward real estate while improving your position at your current role.

@Tim AlbrightI recommend finding an accountant who specializes in real estate taxation.

You might find that you cant BRRR this until after the 12 month mark. 

I'm assuming that the tenants are only finding out they the other is/is not on Section 8 from talking with each other, but I'd be surprised it tenants had an issue with another tenant because they are on Section 8.

And then the next guests will find the thermostat temps changing on them for no reason and be irritated.  

Happy to try and help with any questions or find solutions to make things simpler :) 

And that is best determined by understanding the local market and/or finding a trustworthy local expert who does.

Also, in your experience, which metric do you find most important when evaluating an investment property?
