Renting a house under Section 8

I have noticed that for whatever reason, houses for sale in Paterson are relatively cheap compared to some areas in NJ. You may find a house in Paterson for around 80k. Compared to some areas in NJ , as for example Passaic houses go up to 300K. 
You can get the house with 20% down ,with good credit. List it under section 8, that is a federal government’s primary program to provide housing for Americans who are living in poverty, as well as the elderly and disabled. Section 8 pays a percentage of the tenants rent, meaning that every month you shall get that check from the government in your bank account. Pay the mortgage and insurance by renting the property, and in the long-run even make profit and create a passive income. Surprisingly it doesn't seem to be hard to enroll your property for the Housing Choice Vouchers Program. You can just go to gosection8.com, create a landlord account and just list your property. After meeting regular health and safety standards and some other simple procedures. Pay the mortgage and insurance by renting the property. In a year or 2, if everything goes well, you should start seeing a steady stream of profit. From my perspective, this should be a great investment because Paterson is a high rent area, that goes up to 1.5k a month. However, in some areas in P.a (specially in the southeast of the state) you can find many houses for under 100k, even as low as 30k. Houses in P.a are cheaper than in NJ, but another component to notice is that even tho the houses in Pa are cheaper, the rent is also cheaper. So if you're intending to do the same investment as in Paterson, even tho you're ultimately going to pay less for a property, the stream of money probably wont be as much as in NJ.

The road to riches

We all want to be wealthy, we all want to be able to secure our families survival in the future. Amounting wealth might seem hard, that's because it is; but once you've accumulated a sum of wealth getting wealthier is actually a lot easier.  The simple reason behind this is that you need money to make money. But having money isn't enough, you need to know &  understand how to invest in a way that would make your money work for you. Creating passive income is the best way to amount wealth. But how can i create a stream of passive income? Well investing your money in valuable assets like in real estate & purchasing stocks & bonds seems like the surest way.

Purchasing stocks from solid companies are the safest way to invest in the stock market; companies like Google, Microsoft, Apple have almost 0 risk to invest in, this are companies that aren't going to go bankrupt any time soon. 

Purchasing real estate properties is also a great way to create passive income. If i purchase a 2 family house for example, i can live there while have the house pay for itself by renting one of the floors. I can make even more profit from it by renting both floors & live in the attic or basement. Real estate is also a relatively safe place to invest in since people are always going to need a place to live in.
