My first section 8 look deal

[Samson Hall]

Hey everybody, I’m getting out of high school and looking to do my first deal. I’m looking to do section 8 rentals in the rust belt, states like West Virginia and Ohio, Although I live in Florida. Not looking for concessions here just seeing if anyone has experience in that field. Although I’d like to do a large dscr loan and get 4 to 5 three and four bedroom units, I’m likely goin to start with just one quality property in order to establish proof of concept to present to future down payment partners or private money lenders. If anybody’s got advice I’m here to learn and listen, thank you!

If you are just getting out of high school, I don't know that a large DSCR loan seems like a good idea or possible, but maybe easier if you haven't built a ton of credit yet. I would not in any way look to do Section 8 rentals out of state at 18 or 19 years old. What is the pull to do that? Section 8 can be great, but you have to know the regulations and complications of each area and how that locality processes the applications and tenants.
