Section8Karim

My exact strategy:

I own 153 Section 8 properties.

Here’s what I’d do if I started from 0 today:

1️⃣ Pick a landlord-friendly state:

These will offer you the best protection.

5 of my favorite states are:

• Alabama

• Missouri

• Louisiana

• Indiana

• Ohio

But now, make sure you’re legally protected…

2️⃣ Set up your LLC:

Head over to LegalZoom.com and register a Wyoming LLC as your holding company and a subsidiary LLC in the state you’re choosing to buy in.

3️⃣ Find a house:

Go to Investorlift.com for some of the best off-market properties.

But make sure you use these filters:

• Under $100k

• 3+ bedrooms

• Built after 1950

• Under 1,500 sq ft

Once you’ve found a property…

4️⃣ Close the deal:

Assign your real estate agent power of attorney.

This way you can do this all remotely and they can close the deal on your behalf.

5️⃣ Hire a property manager:

I use thumbtack.com to find reliable property managers.

6️⃣ Rent out the deal:

Take the rent amount from HUDUser.gov, and list the property on AffordableHousing.com

This is where Section 8 tenants look for properties

Then, you keep the remaining profit.

Everyone thought I was crazy...

But here's what I learned working inside my local housing authority at 17:

Section 8 is a government program that pays most of a tenant's rent directly to the landlord every month.

And the average Section 8 tenant stays about 7 and a half years, because it can take close to 10 years just to get on the program.

Nobody wants to risk losing that spot.

That's why I skip the expensive markets everyone fights over.

The best deals I find are sub-$100K houses in the Midwest and Southeast.

I can buy a house in Ohio for around $75,000, rent it to a Section 8 tenant for $1,300 to $1,400 a month, and put roughly 15% down ($8,000 to $12,000 on houses in this range) using DSCR financing.

Deals like that cash flow me $500 to $800 a month after every expense.

I still own the very first $50,000 house I bought at 17.

And rents have climbed so much that it brings in $2,000 a month today.

Now I'm 24 with 405 Section 8 rentals across 3 states, and I run all of it from Miami.

If you want my personal help getting your first Section 8 rental, comment "Section 8" and I'll shoot you a DM.
