Out of State Section 8 request
Hello Bigger Pockets!
We have finally gotten our first rental in Richmond, VA. However, our property has not rented yet. It's located in an "up and coming" area, where you can see signs of renovations etc. We decided to open up our pool of tenants to the voucher because many applicants have asked. We are new this process. We just got a request asking if we accepted out-of-state Section 8 vouchers. I thought I'd reach out to the BP community first before I respond with a yes or no.
What are pros and cons of accepting out-of-state Section 8 vouchers.
Thanks!
