Hi @Morghan Manier, although I have not personally gone through providing Section 8 housing in Shreveport, I have researched the process. Here is what I have found; start by calling or emailing the local authority for information about the process and updates on rental rates (also, check here https://www.huduser.gov/portal...). The Housing Authority website is https://hacsla.com/. From there (and once you have a property), you set the rent amount and find a tenant with a housing voucher. After that, you notify the housing authority, and they will schedule the inspection for your property. If you pass, the tenant gives their current landlord 30 days' notice. After the tenant moves in, it may take three months before Shreveport Housing Authority processes everything and sends rent payments, but it does include back pay.

Many people provide affordable housing to Section 8 tenants in Shreveport, and I can direct you to some of those people. They can probably offer more information than I can, but I hope this was a helpful start. Please reach out if you need anything else, and happy investing!

That is SO helpful!! I really appreciate it!! I would love to be connected with some of those people if you don't mind! Thank you again!

Hi! I am looking to purchase my first investment property in Shreveport. We are looking for small multi and I am very interested in renting to Section8. I was wondering if anyone else in the area is currently doing that and could chat. Thank you!!

Hello! Just a quick newbie question! I am wanting to invest in my first property and execute the brrrr method. I am wanting to do this in the town I currently reside in because I feel I have a good understanding of the market and I could use connections I have made here. However, my family is being relocated with the military in December and we are wanting to house hack when we move. My question is, will my loan with the hard money lender for the brrrr, impact getting a VA home loan for the house hack? I am a stay at home mom and my husband is deployed currently so we only have his income to work off of. Thank you for any advice!!

Hi! I am also in the same boat, as I am just beginning and still feel like I don't totally have a grasp on the terminology or analysis portion of investing. What has begun to help me, is reading (every real estate investing book I can get my hands on) and trying to explain the terms/concepts to my husband and family members! It kind of goes back to the concept of teaching to help you learn a subject on a deeper level. Hope this helped some and good luck!!

Some of the books I have read include:

-Set for Life by Scott Trench

-Investing in Real Estate with No and Low Money Down by Brandon Turner

-Myths, management, and Mastery of vacation rentals by Jermamie Worley

- Skip the Flip by Hayden Crabtree

- How to invest in real estate by biggerpockets
