Section 8 ROI

[Andres Pepping]

Hi everyone, 

We are a group of real estate investors that invest in rental properties overseas. We are looking to purchase the first investment property in the US (looking at a few cities). We are interested in Section 8 - going over the HUD rents and doing the math on the CoCROI we sometimes come up with 20%+ ROI (accounting for capex, repairs, vacancy, management, etc.)

Going over some of the forums here I see a lot of 10%-12% CocROI of investors with Sec8 properties. Can anyone tell me if there is something I am missing? Are the rents posted on the HUD website not the actual rents that are being paid to landlords? (assuming the property is in good condition). 

Thanks.

@Andres Pepping stop & think - with the tens of thousands plus investors here on BP, what are the chances that someone hasn't already figured this out?

So, your analysis is flawed.

As already mentioned, S8 is a TOOL, not a MIRACLE.

Invest wisely...
