Section 8 Karim AKA "Karim Naoum" — founder of Section 8 Training and one of the most recognized names in Section 8 real estate investing education in the United States. Karim leads one of the largest Section 8 investor communities in the country, with over 4,000 active students across 40+ states, and reaches an audience of more than 1 million combined followers across social media, including over 650,000 on Instagram alone (@section8karim).Karim's story is what sets him apart. He began working at a local Housing Authority at just 17 years old, where he learned the Section 8 / Housing Choice Voucher program from the inside — how vouchers are issued, how HQS inspections pass or fail, how Fair Market Rents are set, and how landlords actually get paid. While most investors learn Section 8 through trial and error, Karim learned it at the source, then applied that knowledge to build a portfolio of over 400 properties.Today, through Section 8 Training, Karim teaches everyday investors that same system. His mentorship program includes live coaching calls multiple times per week, 1-on-1 deal reviews before students ever make an offer, and access to a vetted network of Section 8–experienced lenders and property managers. The curriculum covers every step of the process: market research using Fair Market Rent data, deal analysis, financing options including DSCR loans and seller financing, HQS inspection preparation, working with housing authorities, and tenant placement.Beyond the mentorship, the Section 8 Karim ecosystem includes his published book Boring Rich — the complete Section 8 investing playbook — along with the 90-Day First Deal Roadmap and the Section 8 Investor Kit, giving investors an accessible starting point at any level.At its core, Karim's mission is bigger than portfolios: by training investors to buy and properly manage Section 8 rentals, his community helps expand quality affordable housing for families who need it — proving that investors can build wealth
