Does anyone have experience with Section8 tenants in Baltimore?

Posted

New to REI in the Washington DC Baltimore Maryland area. With an expected deluge of evictions coming in the near future due to job losses from COVID 19, would anyone recommend finding section8 tenants to ensure payments on their mortgage? I am worried as I have heard some horror stories. Is the guarantee of at least 75% rent payment from the local government worth the headache that generally comes with section 8 tenants?

@Mary Arobaga-Reardon look at some of the posts from @Joseph Asamoah. The headaches from section 8 tenants don’t have to be as bad if you do your screening right (similar to any other rental property).
