Section 8 Good or bad?

Hey guys,

I just looked at a 4bed 2 bath and all the numbers work out.

It is however across from a big Section 8 apartment building.

My realator said the best thing to do would be to apply to section 8 housing.

I have tons of questions but mainly these.

How hard is it to apply for section 8 housing?

Its a 4 bed 2 bath house. By house I mean it is like a townhouse that shares a wall with another townhouse. I dont know anyone or have dealt with section 8 at all but do many people get vouchers for houses that big?

The backyard is also a graveyard....soooo not sure what that has to do with anything.

Has anyone had problems with section 8 tenants.

If I do not make it section 8.....would anyone want to live there?

It is walking distance to a great local bar scene. I dont know if that is a good thing or bad thing cause I dont want to attract partiers...

Any advice would be helpful.
