Section 8 investing

[Yoel Peyamipour]

Hi, Im 19 years old and new to investing. After listening to the BP episode with Dr Joe, I got into section 8. im not sure though where to really start especially since my are I live in is very expensive (NY). Anyone have any zip codes that may be a good place to start looking for section 8 properties to invest into?

thanks so much!

First, what do you mean exactly by "section 8 properties"? I invest in rental properties and I choose to rent some of them to persons with section 8 vouchers when and where it pays near, at or above what a non-subsidized tenant would pay in rent for the same property. But there is nothing special about the property that makes it "section 8" prior to obtaining it and placing a voucher holding tenant.
