Section 8 Housing Question

[Alexandra Preziosi]

I was surprised to learn how many people invest in Section 8 housing. Being new to the business, that would have probably been the last place on my list! In conducting further research, it seemed as though it is because rent is guaranteed monthly on rental properties in Section 8? My question is whether the reward outweighs the risk of investing in areas such as this, and if anyone has had great success in investing in Section 8. Thanks!
