Ned,

Your advise and wisdom is much appreciated. 

Thank you everyone. I am seeing the pros and cons of using the Housing assistance vouchers. I agree with J.T. Littlejohn though. If this program was truly such a terrible thing wouldn't the government get rid of it?  I will continue to read up about section 8. 

Hello Bigger Pockets,

I am looking to buy in Baltimore Md to rent to Section 8 qualified tenants. What are everyone's thoughts of section 8? I've seen some horror stories on YouTube but believe the program can be very beneficial especially starting off. 

Thanks 

Tim 

Great Post!  

It shows the newcomers what can be done. It also makes it seem very attainable as long as your willing to put in some work!! 

Thank you

Gabriel,

William,

I agree that Annapolis is a bit pricey!! One of the things I heard in a BP podcast was buy where you know. I've started looking around Fort Meade also. There seems to be some cheaper areas where I could get started.

Thanks Elizabeth,

I am in the process of reading the bigger pockets ultimate beginers guide to real estate investing. There are a ton of things I still need to learn. How are you able to self manage properties when you are not stationed there anymore?  Also what are your thoughts on buying a home to live in while we are stationed conus? I have heard two things one is the government gives us a housing allowance so we should defiantly buy with the intention of renting when we leave or possibly selling. The other is to rent a home whereever we are stationed while still looking for homes to buy as investments. Personally it makes sense to look for homes that we could live in for the time frame of the assignment and rent it out when we leave. 

Hi everyone. my name is Tim and I am in the U.S. military stationed in England.  I and from Annapolis Md but have lived in the Virginia Beach area for most of my military career.  I discovered this website through the youtube channel after listening to Rich Dad Poor Dad.  My wife has her own company and we are looking to start investing her profits into real estate.  Living overseas might create a challenge for the short term of 2 years but I would still like to see what we can do from afar. I am looking for turnkey investments in Maryland and Virginia Beach area. I look forward to the wealth of knowledge I can gain from this page and all of you
