I am born, raised, and currently living in Western ND in the Bakken Oil Field region.

I am also just trying to get into real estate, but I've been driving and studying the region and I'd love to share anything I've learned about the area with you as needed.

The location wasn't available from the drop-down menu, but it's Northern Virginia, Fairfax.I'm currently a fresh investor planning to scale and located in the Northern Virginia region.

If they are paying market rent and are taking care of the unit, I see no issues.Some people don't like section 8 because you hear about all the bad tenants mostly (I had one myself that had drug, violence and hoarding issues, swat team even knocked down two of my building's doors cause of said tenant) But I think there is also a difference with regards to the region where your building is.

Just wondering what others' insights are on this.Finally on the subject of that initial prospective tenant message I have been thinking about how buyer's letters that accompany offers on homes being sold are now discouraged/frowned upon (due to fair housing concerns) at least in my woke region and are those concerns coming for rentals too?   

any good contractors you may know that could take this on in our region?

Hi, I'm currently in the process of looking for a MF in the Ohio region and I've been hearing a lot about investors using a "drop and swap" in Ohio to limit the tax assessed value of investment properties. 

Hi Jeremy :) Your best bet is to go to a local credit union (not NFCU or USAA) in the region you are living.
