Building a Section 8 Portfolio

[Tim Townhill]

Hi everyone,

I am starting to build my section 8 portfolio in Baltimore and would be keen to meet any like minded individuals or groups to share any stories or ideas.

There is no doubt that REI in Section 8 is risky, but the entry point is attractive with leveraged yields well in excess of what you can achieve in regular REI. The issue is scale. You really need to get to 100 units. That will take probably 5 years. A buddy of mine did build a portfolio of 150 units in Philly (germantown actually) and has created equity of about $15MM over 10 years. There are no get rich quick schemes, and I have built a mobile home park before so understand some of the challenges of affordable housing. Nothing is risk free, it all depends on your appetite/tolerance.

Speak to you in 2027 :)
