One of the main benefits of participating in the Section 8 program is knowing that the rent will be paid each month (or at least the Housing Authority portion of it) - Now that's gone. 

Do you want to participate ?

Land flipping near growth corridors or participating in real estate syndications could also offer a lot.

I don't know if the main participants in this discussion deserve medals or need better hobbies...

Quote from @David Cherkowsky: Material Participation: Material participation is the key factor here.

It has all the components needed I just need to buy it and stir it up and hope I get great results.But if I want a really good cake, that's pretty and I would be proud to take to my mother in laws house at Christmas . . . well I am going to go to my Sister's house and get her list of ingredients and notes on how to buy them.  

So there are many more participants at the novice level who may not understand the risk/reward nature of this type of investment. 

But you don't qualify for material participation if you are a passive investor in a syndication.  

It's part of participation trophy society where people get socially rewarded for just being in the game, but that shouldn't apply to real estate.

You need to actively participate in order for it to be successful.
