Meet The 30-Something Year Old Making Almost $1M Per Month With Section 8

Tom accidentally bought his first Section 8 property, not realizing the tenant was on Section 8. After seeing the reliable cashflow, he realized Section 8 was a lucrative niche.

Tom got started wholesaling houses in his mid-20s to save up for downpayments on rental properties. He bought some condos and single family homes before stumbling into his first Section 8 tenant. Seeing the benefits of guaranteed rent and higher rents from Section 8, Tom decided to specialize in Section 8. He scaled quickly using private money partners, occupying properties with Section 8 tenants, then cash-out refinancing to buy out his partners while retaining ownership.

Tom now owns over 650+ units across 4 states, with 9 property managers running operations. He teaches others the Section 8 business through his course and coaching program, helping new investors allocate capital into section 8 real estate.

POST OF THE WEEK

Is renting really just throwing your money away?

Our group responded with some bangers:

  • No, some people don't like the responsibility of owning. To them it's worth the peace of mind.

  • Well, it depends on your objectives! I own 3 rentals, I rent where I live. My tenants have been paying down my Mortgages, and damn near paying my rent. Actually, bout to by another rental in this market. So whatever works for you, do that!

Today’s Tip of the Week

If you're looking to get into rental real estate investing, consider exploring Section 8 housing. Section 8 provides rental assistance vouchers to low-income tenants, ensuring they pay only 30% of their income toward rent. The government pays the rest directly to the landlord.

The benefits of Section 8 tenants include:

  • Guaranteed rent payments - You'll get reliable income every month with virtually no risk of non-payment.

  • Higher rents - Section 8 vouchers are based on local fair market rents, which are typically higher than rents in lower-income areas. This means more rental income for you.

  • Increased demand - There are long waitlists for Section 8 vouchers in most areas, so you won't struggle to find tenants.

  • Easy financing - Getting loans for Section 8 properties may be easier thanks to the reliable income they provide.

So if you want dependable tenants and higher rents, consider adding Section 8 housing to your real estate investing strategy. Just make sure you understand the program requirements and guidelines in your area first. It can be a lucrative niche if done properly!
