There are some reputable hard money lenders and a lot of disreputable ones, but you are going to need to layout your plan and resources.

This can sometimes expedite the process and save you the hassle of legal proceedings.Lastly, remember that tenant situations like these can be delicate, so handle communications professionally and document all interactions with both parties.

As I plan to house hack whatever I purchase, my expenses should be covered by the tenants.

I have a small health care benefit from my local government career, and I have VA health care since I'm ex-military but it's not as good as it used to be (too many people in the system, too few providers at the VA) so I am planning on buying a supplement on the marketplace when open enrollment comes in November.

I am not (yet) into commercial RE as I am just starting out BRRRR on my first property which God willing I plan to convert it to a duplex from the single-family that it is now. 

S8 tenants never have good credit, savings, or anything to lose if they trash your property (besides their voucher, not always enough to make them care in my experience).

Spackling, caulking and painting are all important skills if you are planning on owning property in the future.  

His message is call until you're blue in the face and religiously follow up, there I saved you hours of videos.

I aim to apply my real estate knowledge to build a portfolio of rental properties, starting with single and multifamily homes and eventually expanding to apartments.Should I pursue a degree in financial planning or accounting to complement my minor?

@Mohit AroraLet’s also look at realityTenant doesn’t move in and then you have to “evict” a tenant not there and lose rent and try and collect something that doesn’t existLet them out of the lease, potentially keep the deposit and move onThis is why I also recommend a property manager - they typically will save you in the long run
