Anyone doing Section 8 rentals in Petersburg Virginia?

[Patrick Sears]

Hello,

Wondering if anyone in the Central Virginia area was investing in inner-city Petersburg or Hopewell?  Specifically, doing Section 8 in the lower-priced, rougher areas?  I currently have rentals in Richmond (have done Section 8 there inner-ciry), but was thinking of trying out Petersburg.  Richmond is way overheated right now.

Tossing around either Section 8 or maybe doing fix and flip to other investors and I carry the paper.

Thoughts?
