Section 8 investing involves purchasing rental properties that are eligible for the Section 8 Housing Choice Voucher Program. The government subsidizes the rent, paying directly to landlords, which provides a reliable income stream.

Any property, including single-family homes, manufactured homes, townhomes, and condos, can be rented out to Section 8 tenants as long as the property meets the safety and quality standards and passes the housing inspection with the local housing agency.

Getting a high-quality tenant is going to be the most important part of the Section 8 process. You can be sure to get a high-quality tenant by following these steps: Properly market for Section 8 tenants to ensure you have multiple candidates. Have the tenants pay for background checks so that you can see their criminal history, credit, etc. Ask why they are leaving their previous residence. Get their previous landlord's contact information to ask him about the quality of the tenant and to ensure their stories line up. Have the tenant send you photos/videos of their previous residence (They will most likely treat your home the same as their previous house). Properly following these steps will ensure that you have a high-quality tenant. As a last line of defense, you can always remind the tenants that breaking the lease agreement in any way can result in an immediate removal of their long-awaited Section 8 voucher. This will be sure to make them stick to the lease agreement.

Benefits include: Guaranteed rental income from government payments, reduced vacancy rates, and the opportunity to provide safe and affordable housing to low-income individuals and families in need.
