Section 8 out of state rentals

[Karim Elahi]

Hello, I’m trying to start my rental portfolio but I’m from NYC and house prices are quite here so scaling here without a good amount of cash in a short time would be difficult. However I’m considering out of state rentals, specially section 8 rentals. I have below questions I was hoping you folks can shed some light on it. 

1. Out of state section 8 rental, is it possible ? What difficulties can run into?
2. If you did complete this momentous accomplishment can you provide some guidance?
3. Ideally I want to do it in NYC, have you done any here? How’s your experience?
