@Maria JeanetteRenting to tenants in assisted housing programs, like Section 8, can have both advantages and challenges. - Consistent Payments: The rent portion covered by the housing program is guaranteed and paid on time, reducing the risk of late payments.- Large Tenant Pool: Housing programs often have waiting lists, so demand is high.

And, with other strategies 50:1, 100:1, 10,000:1 is all realistic. 4th and final: Tax advantages left right and center in real estate.

The last thing you want is for a national moratorium on evictions for 2021 to become official and your tenant taking advantage of that. 

Multi-family properties many times provide a better return per square foot than single family, which would be to your advantage as well.As long as you're mindful of the reinvestment requirements and purchase at least as much as you sold and use all of the proceeds, you shouldn't have any issues with this strategy.

But i heard that there's scammers who prey on new listing discounts to try to take advantage of new hosts.. is this something I should be concerned about?

I’d love to take advantage of a “traditional” mortgage (or even FHA?)

This is something that I don't think many women and minority's understand the HUGE advantage they have over others. 

With VA loans, you’ve got a huge advantage to get started with little to no money down, and military bases are perfect for long-term or short-term rentals.
