Hi @Isiah Ferguson,

Your question is sound and I can speak from experience to hopefully give you some insights.

I got my start in these areas because it was what I could afford at the time and also because at that time, I was of the belief that I wanted to operate at the base of the tenant pyramid because that gave me the most opportunity for potential tenants.

My business partner and I always bought properties that were in rough shape and needed major repairs and we always upgraded a notch or two above what the neighborhood looked like to keep vacancy low.

In practice, the returns are always going to be lower than whatever your spreadsheet tells you going in.  You'll work your butt off chasing tenants and you'll spend a lot more on repairs and evictions or cash for keys than you expected.

That being said, investing in these areas was a great learning experience and because everything was at a lower price point, bad decisions aren't as impactful.

There are investors out there that specialize in this space/ section 8, etc. and love it so it's also personal preference.

My advice would be to start small, stay engaged in your properties, build out your operations, and grow from there.  I have changed my business model three times, each time for the better since I started investing in 2005 and through all the ups and downs we have always kept our investors whole.  There's nothing wrong with starting with something you are comfortable with and changing over time.  

As long as you buy right, you'll be in great shape.

Hope that helps.
