How do you plan to deal with the wide variety of laws across all of the different states and cities?

It’s about 24 inches wide and 3 inches high.Since this can’t be repaired and it was brand new.

I have 2 that require 33” wide fridges.  6.  

They will tell you what are their closing fee, maximum LTV and APR based on the LTV and credit score range.Also each bank will get their own appraisal that can fluctuate widely depending on the appraiser.

There are TONS of discussion threads about this here on BP, just put Section 8 into the search query.Very high level:I love it for the guaranteed rent, higher rents (sometimes), long tenancies, added accountability for tenants through the housing authority and enormous supply/demand gap (there is a lot more demand than supply in most places for s8 housing).People often dislike it because the housing authority can be tough to deal with (this varies widely from one county to the next because it's administered locally), rents can be too low in certain areas (usually A areas) and there is a perception that the tenants are awful.I've found that extremely thorough screening negates the last issue.

The problem is, I feel like I'm going too wide too fast and not focused enough on the most important "next step".

In terms of desirability to buyers and guests, waterfront homes will ALWAYS outperform non-waterfront homes, and by a wide margin. 

I agree with Brian here - there are so so so many posts on Section 8 and people have very passionate opinions on the topic.Very high level:I love it for the guaranteed rent, higher rents (sometimes), long tenancies, added accountability for tenants through the housing authority and enormous supply/demand gap (there is a lot more demand than supply in most places for s8 housing).People often dislike it because the housing authority can be tough to deal with (this varies widely from one county to the next because it's administered locally), rents can be too low in certain areas (usually A areas) and there is a perception that the tenants are awful.I've found that extremely thorough screening negates the last issue. 

Good things to consider and get clear on before approaching this investor, and I hadn't thought of it from so many angles before.I also thought of potentially either getting my commercial real estate license and finding these deals myself with a sort of hybrid wholesaler and agent mindset, vs. teaming up with a few agents who are already plugged into that network.But, anyway, much appreciate your response!  

No local banks have a long term fixed option and all of the nation wide lenders I have found through these forums seem very expensive and not many of them have very good reviews.
