Has anyone dealt with section 8 renters before and if so what are some red flags that I should keep an eye out for?

You can't really phrase it like that. You don't want to focus on the renters of Section 8 because that can come off as discriminatory as a landlord. You want to focus on the applications. Have you ever done Section 8 as a landlord?

Most new investors look to Section 8 for "guaranteed money" and think it's easy. They are wrong. Section 8 can be very profitable, but it's not smart as a first investment or a one-off because there is a lot more red tape.
