Pros and Cons of Section 8 tenants

[Melissa Faraias]

Hello BP community,

I am relatively new to REI investing and my second rental is on the market. I have been receiving lots of calls, mostly from section 8 tenants. I am considering accepting section 8 but am a bit scared since I need to do more research. The house is also really nicely renovated and I have been told that section 8 tenants do not often take care of a property. I am starting to do more research but would love some input on the pros and cons of renting to section 8 tenants, especially from investors who accept such tenants. Thank you so much for any advice that you can give me. I am thankful for this BP community.
