In my area, all landlords that would like to participate in the Section 8 program must attend a Landlord Briefing in which they explain the process, expectation and give you tips on selecting a tenant, maybe they have that in your area.Good Luck !

I think a few helpful tips to get you started:1.)

I wouldn't look at the total amount only but the quality of the property.For instance I wouldn't buy an 800k property just because that was my plan.

Hi Andy,Finding a quality contractor that's reasonably priced is difficult.

My background is in steel sales and quality assurance.

Many times I've heard from folks I deal with or have taught that it was their presentation that tipped the scales in a transaction.Even when it doesn't, it builds your reputation as a knowledgeable professional --- and that's what may seal the next deal.

I think the best lenders understand that good quality relationships are where they make their money long term instead of having to hunt for good borrowers constantly.

A good tip is to set up some Keyword Alerts for some of the topics you want to learn more about, so you'll be notified when they are discussed on forums.
