Do government shutdowns have any effect on Section 8 operations, or is Section 8 monitored and regulated locally.

Hello fellow investors! My name is Duane Kidman I currently live in the Dallas/Fort Worth metropolitan area. I started my real estate journey wholesaling, at least that was my intention. The first flip I had 3-potential buyers, but they were all newbies and none could qualify for a loan, so instead of letting it go - I Rehabber it myself. The next house I rehabbers and continued rehabbing until late 2022, when houses in my area stopped selling. I noticed new builds were still moving, so I bought 10-lots and started the process. Just as I was about to apply for my permits, I noticed other new builds were 6+ months on market. So I stopped. I considered flipping land. Checked into State and County deed auctions. Actually bid and won a lot in Hot Springs, Arkansas. I like visiting Hot Springs, and after speaking with the City Planner, discovered they have a need for low cost housing. So I am making plans to build a prefabbed home on my lot there as mid-term rental, so I have a place to vacation when vacant and the need or desire happens. For now, I’be decided to venture into buy, rehab, and rent. This year I bought my first rental, and as of now I have another under contract. While checking into rental rates in the different local areas, I noticed that in a few places, Section 8 paid more than thr street rate. So here I am, learning the ins-and-outs of Section 8.
