When I make an offer as a non-agent, there is a way that I train people to make offers that seems to make a difference.

We use Virtual Assistants (I believe the cost of them was bundled with the note brokering program we signed up with). 

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.

Once you have a voucher applicant you can then apply to be part of the program.

A good assignment contract specifically for Texas laws, what to ask for in a contract from the seller's agent if doing Direct-To-Agent wholesaling, what specific Texas laws do I have to watch out for).Does anyone know of anyone offering mentorship (that isn't a genuine scam/*guru*) or a place to find other wholesalers in Texas (preferably San Antonio). 

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. 

I try to define at least two viable exits before making an offer. 

@Richard Summers Do you offer PML nationwide?

My plan is to take advantage of the NYC First-Time Homebuyer Program and SONYMA, and I’ve decided that home-hacking is the best strategy for me.I’ve been looking at properties in Upper Manhattan — particularly Harlem and Washington Heights — as well as parts of Brooklyn, but prices are very high.

And the listing shows a tax bill based on a relief program tied to the prior owner.
