Flip, Rent, or Section 8 ?

As a newbie I came in strong on the Flip idea... But most people here seem to push rentals as a way to really make a sustaining income.

With some of the deals out there I can see coming into a transaction and being immediately in the Black on a rental! Which is very exciting and opens new horizons to my investment strategy... Granted rental in my mind = stress to get people to sign the rental agreements.

... Which leads to Section 8 housing. Guaranteed income and guaranteed renters... The bad of course is that you are dealing with low low income tenants and neighborhoods which can be risky.

Is there any books or web info related to Section 8 that is of value? Pros / Cons of such properties?

Thanks!
