Your inferring that with a 30yr mortgage there is some sizable application to principle in early years, there is not. 

It’s important to help them understand when these strategies are truly applicable, the eligibility requirements, and whether they realistically align with their financial and tax situation.

How do you guys secure your flips in progress?

It then took them 8 days to get the application to me.

We keep them updated on our progress and status even when not in the middle of finance deals. 

Is your DSCR ratio greater than 1-meaning are you cash flowing (according to the lender's criteria of mortgage, property taxes and insurance (and HOA) if applicable).

So maybe that's what you start to look for.. take some time and find land in the path of progress.. that's where the big money is made in real estate in the buy hold and forget it scheme.flipping dirt is a paper game.. buy low sell on terms live on the payments when buyer defaults do it again and you will have a staggering amount of defaults when someone buys desert dirt and realize's down the track they made a bad investment or they will never use it.. that's whey they sell at tax's

I'm hoping to make some connections as I progress in my rental adventures.

It’s totally fair to be cautious with a Section 8 applicant, especially when you’re new to that program.

Many areas that do not allow for an actual transfer of usages and need a re-application (even if just a formality) will be cutting it VERY Close.
