There are a lot of great things that come with renting two Section 8 tenants like an annual guarantee of income once you get a negotiated price on a contract with HUD but this does not negate the fact that there is good and bad to everything and whether that be a cash pay tenant or a Section 8 tenant, it's ALL about the way you do business, and whether or not you have experience to be able to recognize the way that certain things should or should not be handled so that you end up benefiting from the situation instead of losing. let's keep this thread going, if anyone else has any other insights please continue to post this is a great thread because there is a lot of general misconception about Section 8 HUD tenants, properties, and investors, it is certainly a niche market so to speak but if you know what you're doing it can be extremely lucrative.

I inquired about the area codes they prefer, the types of houses, the kind of work they are looking to do on the properties, and other details that would help me locate a deal for them.

Are there favorite areas or neighborhoods you prefer, and why? 

Hey all.I'm looking to invest in 4-6 syndications in the next 6 months, and would appreciate receiving recommendations on syndication companies that are known, and trustworthy, and preferably that you worked with. 

Scott The Book on Flipping Houses,The Book on Estimating ReHab Costshttp://www.biggerpockets.com/flippingbookLocate and attend 3 different local REIA club meetings great place to meet people gather resources and info.You might consider Niche or Specialized Housing like student housing.

At the end of the day, I'd say it's more of a personal preference.

I feel confident in property management, so I am ready to move to a different niche, what should my next step be?

@Brandon Morgan some of this is personal preference and also based on how much time you have.

Stay informed about any new construction or development projects.Investing in student rentals can be a lucrative niche if approached with careful planning and research.

Personally I'd feel comfortable with a 5-1 ARM. 5 years is a long time to refinance or sell - preferably the former.
