Step 1: Pick a landlord-friendly state like:
👉 Louisiana
👉 Georgia
👉 Ohio
These states protect landlords and make evictions easier if needed.
Step 2: Find a major city in that state with houses under $100k
Go to InvestorLift.com and search cities like:
👉 Baton Rouge, Louisiana
👉 Macon, Georgia
👉 Akron, Ohio
Step 3: Call the local housing authority
Ask: “How many Section 8 voucher holders are on your waitlist?”
If they say 100+, you can get tenants easily.
Step 4: Go back to InvestorLift.com and use these exact filters:
👉 Price: $60k-$80k
👉 Bedrooms: 3+
👉 Size: Under 1,500 sqft
👉 Year built: After 1950
👉 Condition: Turnkey
Step 5: Check your guaranteed monthly rent on HUDUser.gov
Search for the property’s location to find the exact amount the government will pay you every month. Ex: A 3-bed in Baton Rouge = $1,528/month, locked in.
But before you celebrate, don’t forget this check...
Step 6: Check local crime rates on SpotCrime.com
Enter the property’s address and avoid areas with high crime rates.
This protects you from problem tenants and property damage.
Step 7: Calculate cash flow
Rent: $1,528 (from HUDUser.gov)
Minus costs: $900 (mortgage, taxes, insurance, management, repairs)
Cash flow: $628/month
If it’s above $500/month, you have a strong margin to move forward...
Step 8: Get DSCR loan from a lender like Kiavi.com
Now here’s how you close the deal without leaving your home...
Step 9: Sign a Power of Attorney with your realtor.
They’ll handle the closing for you, so you can be anywhere you like. It’s not your geography that matters, but the cash flow that does.
Now let’s turn your investment into easy passive income...
Step 10: Hire a property manager on Thumbtack.com
They handle everything locally.
Step 11: List the property on AffordableHousing.com
This is where Section 8 tenants search for rentals.
With 100+ voucher holders waiting, expect rapid applications.
