5 Unit Property with Section 8 Housing

I have recently come across an off-market deal for a 5-unit property that has 3-units listed under section 8 housing. I'm in Boston and was wondering what experiences other people have had with buying section 8 units?

Sounds like it could be a great opportunity. This gives you a chance to increase rents and get a direct deposit check monthly. As long as the tenant is respectful and treating your property right, there's no difference in S8 or market renters - it's all an appropriate gamble.
