Based off of the podcasts I am listening to and other property management professionals that I network with, that has been the experience of portfolios across the states. 

@Stephanie Menard, a few comments based on my own experience.1.

Based on a quick answer from Perplexity it seems like there would be no issue with you buying the home and collecting passive income, but you may not be allowed to manage it yourself since that is considered active work.

Based on its price and rental income do you think it is worth it?

In that scenario Section 8 tenants are the least risky tenant base.

My goals are all based around being consistent. 

In Phoenix, where I’m based, or in markets like San Antonio, the best realtors do more than just list properties.. they go “driving for dollars” to find oppurtunity, leverage their local networks (probate attorneys, CPAs, divorce attorneys) and carefully analyze each property’s cash flow.

If you're open to looking at some resources here's what I would recommend you start with based on what you've said:1.

Much of it based on defense spending that will likely increase as assets are moved from Colorado to Alabama to include the Space Command HQ.

FWIW, I'm going to base this off a 1,500 SF single family new build, but I'll predict the build cost will be a little over $200/SF.
