@Chris Bird It can make sense in so many scenarios, but always requires an awareness of all the moving parts and, occasionally, a crystal ball.

And the occasional fire.

he is one of the few Texas experts that teaches occasionally and has a good support system...and it is not $40,000. 

Modeling assignment: Occasionally we may use you as a model for different print and promotional material for the business. 

For HUD-VASH (the VA run program to help vets with Section 8 vouchers), the paperwork and standard of unit is virtually identical, but with the added support of your tenant having an assigned social worker who regularly visits them at their home, and occasionally will bring in other service providers if needed. 2+ Bedroom units tend to be in much lower demand for HUDVASH though, so bear that in mind if you're purchasing an SFR. 

In fact, if you don't mind putting in a bit of elbow grease or being patient and waiting for the right opportunity, you can even still find the occasional 3-bedroom house for under a half million.

Occasionally I’ll get asked to bring more.

Unreliable tenants are everywhere and occasionally need to be turned over a couple times, very quickly until you find them.

I've known I want to invest in real estate for a few years and I've been saving, learning bit by bit and meeting occasionally with a couple mentors, but I just recently discovered BP and am blown away by the content and community.

I have listened to a lot of Dave Ramsey's stuff and also occasionally struggle with going his route of all cash vs using OPM (Other People's Money) to do further investing.
