How to Become a Section 8 Landlord

Section 8 is a government program that allows tenants to qualify for lower income rent, and the remainder of the rent is paid to the landlord by government agencies. As a landlord, you do have to apply to become a Section 8 landlord. The application process can vary by state, city, and even county, so be sure to look into your local regulations.

Personally, I do not have any Section 8 properties in my portfolio, but I have before. You can listen to an older episode that Natali and I recorded on our experiences with Section 8 here.

Ways to Get Funding for Building Your Portfolio

I’ve heard from many investors that it’s getting increasingly harder to find funding, particularly in the commercial space. My first tip for you would be to read the great book, Getting the Money by Susan Lassiter Lyons. It is a comprehensive guide to attaining funding from private lenders.

If for some reason you don’t want to go that route, you could also try using a company like DLP Capital or seek out lenders on LinkedIn.

Tips for Buying Gold and Silver

There are a few different ways to buy gold and silver, but if you’re specifically looking to have gold and silver delivered, I can recommend Lear Capital. My link is learredacted.com or you can call them directly at 800-613-3557.

I’m not an expert on gold investing, but a great resource I can recommend is the book Nomad Capitalist by Andrew Henderson.
