A few things to keep in mind:Section 8 requires the property to pass an inspection based on HUD’s Housing Quality Standards (basically making sure it’s safe and well-maintained).The rent you charge has to align with Fair Market Rents (FMRs) in your area, so it’s good to check what similar properties are renting for.You’ll still be responsible for maintaining the property, but the upside is that a chunk of the rent is guaranteed by the government, which can provide steady income.Check with the local housing authority about any specifics for your area—every jurisdiction does things a little differently.This could be a great niche if you can find a good deal on the land and make sure your expenses (like maintenance, insurance, and occasional vacancies) are covered by the rental income.

@Lucas Schlund the same thing that happened to all the STRs in NY City when their ordinance went into effect, as well as many other cities.Owners must comply and the government doesn't care about your potential losses:(

Thank you all for posting honest questions and experiences, I agree, the scam as I see it, is, pay the money for the "money making program" Find me a unbelievable deal (if you can on your own time) and the guru will pay you $10,000 IF it meets his criteria (read small print, tons of exclusions and conditions!)

Okay BPers - I'm back yet again to pester you with obvious questions, but not so obvious to me since I've called the entire Baltimore City Government and no one seems to know how to use a phone (Called at least 10 numbers - maybe it's a snowday?).
