Section 8 - What's the catch? (Out-of-State Investing)

[Adam Eckhoff]

Hello Everyone,

Hypothetically speaking, let's say you accrued an amount of $100,000 and you have the goal to invest in real estate. That being said, is it as easy as buying 5 to 10 $50k to $100k properties in Central USA, and securing a section 8 tenant? Assuming you get a management company to look after the properties (since i would be out-of-state investing). Or am I missing something here? 

I've looked into buy and holds, short-terms, long-terms, BRRRR's, and section 8's.

Thoughts on Long-Distance Section 8?

Thanks,

Adam.
