Maintain or get rid of Section 8 eligiblility?

[Tommy Vincent]

I’m looking into a duplex property to purchase, and we found out it’s Section 8 qualified. This is not something we were targeting, and frankly, I don’t think we’re interested in using it.

Question is: Should we cancel the status? Or is section 8 qualification seen as an asset to the property because it gives the owner the option to leverage or not? Is there a cost to maintain?

Property is in Sacramento, CA.
