I Bought 6 Section 8 Houses in 6 Months (HUGE Cash Flow)

Lawrence Guerguis described how he started with no personal assets, then found a private-money partner by posting in crypto Discord channels and arguing that volatile digital assets should be swapped for tangible investments. That outreach led to a partnership and a move to Cleveland, Ohio, where he spent time on Zillow, asked listing agents for video tours, and toured dozens of homes to learn the local market and the mechanics of older properties.

His first deal was a duplex with two long-term Section 8 tenants paying very low rents. Because the property had already passed inspections, he says he could raise the rents to 2024 standards without doing any work. The deal produced strong cash flow immediately, and he said that pattern continued as he bought more houses over the next several months.

Lawrence’s goal was six houses in a year, but he says he reached six houses in six months. He financed the purchases with private money for the down payments, later bought out the equity partner, and then redirected the properties’ cash flow into his personal portfolio. The core argument was that disciplined underwriting, Section 8 rent resets, and persistent deal sourcing can create strong returns even in a high-rate environment.
