Our first SFH! Section 8?

Hey BP fam!

We are officially under contract for our first property - a SFH in what I would gets is a B-C type of neighborhood. Looking for advice on whether or not we should accept Section 8 applicants? I've read (all my knowledge is theoretical) that tenants on government assistance can be really rough on properties (I also see that as painting with a broad brush) but the government assistance side of that is pretty stable income, and it doesn't seem terribly difficult to raise rent either, just requires 60-days notice instead of 30.

Thoughts/recommendations?
