I’m looking to do section 8 rentals in the rust belt, states like West Virginia and Ohio, Although I live in Florida.

Hey Luke If you're open to out-of-state investing and looking for an inexpensive market that produces strong cash flow, I recommend checking out Cleveland, OH. 

Columbus OH, we work with a Charlotte land developer here on larger sites like 30 acres and up not sure how big but your niche size is great. we do development, licensed general contractor, and build single family and multifamily we have a few new Floorplans every few months and I travel nationally to be an advocate for our market. it's wide open. high absorption potential and only 8 builders who build over 50 houses a year in our market. 

That being said there are some great opportunities with SFH's in Columbus, Ohio! 

I live in FL and do all my biz in OH.

I can send you a list of contacts in Ohio to help you build your team, property manager.

I can send you some inspector referrals in Cleveland, Ohio

NYC can be intimidating for new investors, but if you're open to out-of-state investing, there are states/cities like Cleveland, Ohio, that are more investor-friendly and inexpensive.

I now live in FL and do all my biz in OH, still getting 15- 20% nets.

There are a lot of Ohio investors here.
