Section 8 Investing

Hi All,

My name is Michelle, I am a local long term SFH real estate investor in South Florida and am wanting to add on Section 8 investing in Detroit, Michigan.

I currently am not knowledgeable on Section 8, but am educating myself.

I am looking to connect with other Section 8 investors to see how they got started along with what resources they used to look at market trends, how to pick the specific hot bed to invest in Section 8, and advice I may need to know.

Thank you in advance.

I strongly suggest familiarizing yourself with the Section 8 program and its prerequisites. Understanding this information can be advantageous, whether or not a property manager is involved.

Being well-informed about the eligibility criteria, application process, and benefits of the Section 8 program can greatly assist you in navigating the housing landscape. For instance, knowing the income limits, family size requirements, and the types of properties that qualify can help you make more strategic decisions. Additionally, understanding the rights and responsibilities of both tenants and landlords under this program can foster better communication and smoother interactions. All this knowledge not only empowers you but also ensures that you can make the most of the opportunities available through Section 8 housing assistance.

Best of luck to you!
