There are nice people in those areas that want nice places they just can't afford better neighborhoods.

Hey guysI started to do section 8 and i have a question lately i feel section 8 no paying according to the table sheet they have online in government website, they having appraiser do comps and paying as regular long term rental maybe a bit more but not tremendously. i called them , emailed and all but that is their strategy now , so i asked why they put wrong info on website, seems like they want to lure Landlords lol ..for example https://dhantx.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/FY24-Payment-S...You can see zip code 76227 with 5 bedroom showing $4921 (less bills $500) so its $4221.but actually people getting $2800-3000 how come it is ?

Navigating the lending and finding people to partner with is an obstacle I’m learning currently.

It would be my first investment property and I’d like to get a feel for it before handing it to somebody else.

You can be hands on in one of the hottest, up-and-coming markets today for long-term rentals.

It seems like this is one of the biggest challenges for people in real estate.

Where do people find a trustworthy credit partner?

I've personally worked with a handful of "investor-friendly" lenders, primarily on DSCR loans in recent years, and each time I've run into significant delays, lack of transparency about the process, have been fed the requirements in a piecemeal fashion (every few days there's a new random request rather than having it all organized from the start), and have even run into lenders who were substantially misinformed about the real estate industry or the laws that govern it on both a local and federal level.I think there should be a better site to encourage accountability by tracking how long it actually takes each lender to close their loans on average, and what unexpected hurdles investors encounter when trying to work with them.I can't seem to find such a site.

I asked for a $2,500 processing fee, which was gladly handed over, and the escrow and title company took over from there.

I have decided to embark in my real estate investing journey and would love to hear from people about theirs.
