Hey All,This is my first post on bigger pockets and I'm super excited to join the community.

Truly, I'm happy there is at least a community like this who are willing to share value and it's with people who may share similar goalsI may begin my strategy first by having an emergency fund 6 months worth (halfway there).

I purchased and re-positioned a 29 unit stable 1990 C+ class apartment community with affordable rents and I have been investing passively in value add affordable mobile home park communities.Of all the market forces discussed on BP, the affordable housing shortage is the one undeniable force and it likely will not be solved in my lifetime.

I only offer my services to people I feel are going to use the info and solve problems with it, and only because its great to see others doing the right thing the right way and creating income for trades, realtors, and increasing the value in communities.

I think right now the neighborhood is more of a renter community right now, but in the future these houses or duplexes could be sold for way more than it cost to build them.

Thanks for contributing to the community with your first post. 

The student housing community I worked for required all tenants to have a minimum of 100K liability and you'd be surprised at how many times we had to use their policy for some sort of damage to the property (i.e. flooding, fires, etc.).As far as rent payments, I would recommend using Venmo.

Thank you all and I hope i can serve the community and get to know great people.

I’m new to the community and moved from Germany to the US three years ago.

One thing that I have found out that because I live in a community state (Texas) I was turned down on getting any financial aid from the SSA because in their opinion that my wife made too much money and so they turned me down even though I have been paying them taxes for years   I was 54 then and had been working since I was 14.
