Insights on Section 8 as a landlord/Investor

Hi everyone, I would really love to get some insights on what it is like to be an investor renting out to Section 8 tenants. I feel like this is a great way to start in real estate as a new investor considering a few factors. I would be looking into properties in the midwest and southeast states, under 100k, 3 bed, younger than 1955 and no more than 1,200 sqft, and turn key for the most part. Looking to put in 5k in rehab IF needed. I live in California so this of course would be me managing the property remotely to start (unless I can find a great property manager.) I am aware that I would need to be extra vigilant in screening tenants so they don't trash the place. 

I wanted to know if anyone has any experience renting to Section 8 tenants and if you would be so kind as to share any insights/tips. 

Thanks, Nathan
