Your return on investment is so narrow with rental property and depends on having civilized tenants to make a profit.
Section 8 would be a nightmare as a landlord. There is so much third party risk. Bad renters, and corrupt property management companies .
I had heard stories of third world immigrants having open fires in the house to cook, people working on motorcycles in the living rooms with oil stains on the carpet and floors , and renters punching holes in the wall and trashing the place before eviction. No way would I consider being a landlord.
