The Ultimate Guide to Section 8 Investing Training

This comprehensive 6-module training walks you through the entire lifecycle of a Section 8 rental. You train with me through a combination of live and recorded sessions. You get to watch the training videos, and then we regroup for a live session and discuss what you learned and how you are going to implement what you learned and get it to work for you. 

What I have done with this training is share everything I would do if I were starting from scratch. I discuss what I would pay attention to and what I would avoid based on my experience with the Housing Authorities, the different types of tenants, and the different types of buyers of such properties. I would begin with the end in mind. 

I had to go back years and review all the mistakes I had made, all the oversights, everything that went right, and everything that went wrong and distill it down for you so you can become successful quickly instead of wasting time. Here’s what the training covers:

In Session 1, we discuss Deal Sourcing: How to find properties that are best suited for Section 8 rentals and find deals that would work best for your situation.

In Session 2, we go over Deal Analysis: How to analyze the deal so you have multiple exit opportunities. We cover prescreening, entry and exit valuation, and what makes a good investment.

By Session 3, you are ready to talk about Acquisition and Financing. We discuss the different ways to structure the terms of acquisition and where to find the money to do the deal in case you want to raise private money.

In Session 4, we cover the Sustainable Rehab. This is how to renovate the property and avoid the over-improvement trap. I’ll tell you what you need to fix and what you don’t need in a home so you can avoid and minimize maintenance headaches. I’ll show you how to meet Housing Quality Standards requirements without breaking the bank.

Session 5 is about how to stabilize the property with the right tenants. We go over how to find the right program for your property and your timeline, lease agreements, Housing Authority applications, and dealing with property management issues. We discuss how to market the property for tenants and how to determine the maximum rents you can charge to optimize your cash flow.

In Session 6, we will discuss the Exit and talk about the different ways you can exit a deal and how to get ready to sell.

When you enroll in the training, not only will you save the money that I spent to learn all this, but you will also save what could be months or years because you'll be doing it right the first time. There is no trial-and-error period.
