Things To Know Before Investing In Section 8

I know Section 8 is the latest real estate investing craze. 

It seems folks are attracted to this because of "guaranteed rents" and the perceived ability to get higher than market rate rents to improve cash flow.

It's not a complex process but you should be aware of all the pros and cons whether you're looking at investing in Cleveland, Columbus, Florida, New York, Detroit, St Louis, Ohio, etc.

I have 3 S8 tenants and have been doing this for the last 5 years. I have some great articles on the topic here: https://www.buyingdetroitrealestate.com/section-8-investing/

And if you're looking to do something out-of-state I'm happy to help. I've helped hundreds of investors get started with out of state investing over the last couple years.

 I actually really love section-8 investing. It is very profitable and helps people find affordable housing. Helping the community and giving back while growing you real estate portfolio.

S8 really is just trading one set of tenant problems for another!
