Section 8 - tenant screening

Jennifer D.

Posted
Hi, I’m new to all of this, just started listening to podcasts/YouTube this month. I understand there’s a type of bias clause when searching for tenants, such as you’re not allowed to reject one tenant over the other because of a “feeling.” Also, I’ve been reading that section 8 tenants come in a variety of flavors but the majority are not quality. And so, how could one create a tenant screening to vet out all the less than quality applicants? I’m interested in section 8 tenants because they seem to stick around, which means less vacancy time and work for me. Side note- I’m also interested in investing outside of my current city and am looking to partner up somehow. Thanks
