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
