Section 8 Isn't Scary: Get Uncle Sam to Pay Your Rentals Off [REWIND]

Chris Craddock Season 1 Episode 279

In this throwback solo episode, Chris takes you deep into the world of Section 8 rentals — a strategy most investors overlook because they don’t understand it. He used to avoid Section 8 properties himself… until he saw how much cash flow and stability they could offer.

If you want guaranteed rent backed by the government, higher-than-market rates in some areas, and long-term tenants who don’t want to leave, this episode is for you.

You’ll learn:

  • Why Section 8 rentals scared Chris at first—and how he changed his mind
  • The #1 way to prevent bad tenants (it’s not credit score)
  • How to vet Section 8 tenants to avoid massive headaches
  • How the government paid back Chris $10K after a rent bookkeeping error
  • The huge rent raise he just got approved (and how you can do it too)
  • Why five-bedroom Section 8 units in D.C. are cash flow monsters
  • How to calculate voucher rates for your area
  • Smart tax strategies and write-offs that come with owning rentals
  • Chris’s “poor man’s property management” system using home warranties
  • Why one investor gives his tenants cruises after five years — and how that pays off
