Tom Cruz, an alumnus of UNC Wilmington's class of 2011, took his first steps into real estate wholesaling back in 2012. His keen eye spotted a glaring gap in affordable housing options in Wilmington, NC. Focusing on properties valued at $100,000 or less, Tom Cruz made them accessible through the section 8 HUD program. Starting small, he ingeniously employed creative financing techniques to gradually expand his holdings. After securing about five properties, Cruz actively sought partners, resulting in a substantial $250,000 joint investment in 15 properties. His proficiency in section 8 rentals earned him a sterling reputation for delivering consistent returns. This recognition proved instrumental in obtaining the necessary funding to build a robust portfolio, now boasting over 700 units. Impressively, this portfolio yields a steady influx of over $650,000 in net passive rental income each month. In 2021, Cruz unfurled the Section 8 Secrets program, tailor-made to guide nascent investors through the intricacies of the field. Stripping away unnecessary embellishments, the program imparts pragmatic wisdom on navigating the domain of section 8 properties. Thus far, Tom and his program have steered over 500 individuals towards property ownership, with an impressive 83% achieving their inaugural purchase within a mere 60 days. Sensing an emerging need in 2023, Cruz and his team birthed the in-house Section 8 Pro software. This comprehensive tool streamlines property acquisition by assessing a myriad of factors including condition, location, crime rates, and cash flow.
