I’ve reviewed the Fair Market Rents listed on HUDUser.gov and was wondering whether the rent amounts shown by ZIP code reflect the actual payments landlords typically receive through the Section 8 program, or if they’re just guidelines.Based on my research, Detroit, MI seems like a solid market to get started due to demand and affordability.

@Matthew DavisHey Matthew — out-of-state markets in the Midwest offer lower entry costs, strong cash flow, and faster portfolio growth compared to pricier areas like Orange County or PHX.

Age itself isn’t what drives interest rates — it’s more about credit profile, income stability, debt-to-income, and the loan program used.

It is a strategy that I've done with my wife 9 times in 8 years, so it is very powerful and you can live for reduced cost and sometimes for free if you do it correctly, and that's my favorite part of it.Regarding the Section 8 question, I'm very familiar with Section 8 since I've down it on about 8 units total in my 20 unit portfolio in Denver, Aurora and Englewood, so I've worked with all the housing authorities and understand the program very well. 

What i have done for many of my clients however is structuring the deal with a tiny bump in price and ask for 10k+ as a closing cost credit in the offer.

Property Radar just released a new dirt mail system for the program offering postcards at .48 per and it's already linked to all my lead lists and properties I have found.

When considering the best financing options for your BRRRR strategy, you might want to weigh the pros and cons of both hard money lenders and traditional bank financing.Hard money lenders can offer quick access to funds, which is particularly useful when you need to act fast on a promising property.

The increasing demand for supportive housing environments is noteworthy, especially as communities seek to offer pathways toward recovery and reintegration for individuals.
