Hey :)New young investor, trying to buy my first rental, the game plan is a Section 8 rental in DFW.How can I check the demand for section 8 housing in a specific zip code?

@Joshua Wright welcome.What specific investing do you want to do?

If you don't have that, keep earning, saving, and managing the risk you take by investing in REITs (which is small but risk still exists).If you already have at least $100k to invest, and you're wondering where to start as an OOS investor, I recommend this dataset that we at BiggerPockets put together specifically for people like you and me.https://www.biggerpockets.com/resources/housing-market-data/...It contains information like job growth, population growth, and rent-price ratio for all markets to compare and contrast.

Maybe throwing out a specific post for seeking investment focused brokerages in the Long Island area on BP and see who reaches out as well :). 

But, that is not always the right answer and you should speak with someone familiar with your personal situation to get advice specific to you.

Quote from @Chris Grenzig: Very location-specific.

the market is unforgiving right now, and if you buy a random property by looking on Zillow and turn it over to people you don't know to manage, you'll lose money.with respect to your specific question, if the property is safe, clean, and priced correctly, it will rent. but that doesn't mean you'll make money on it.
