Anyone rent urban section8 units?

( a sub30kclub topic)

Does anyone out there have experience, good or bad, in renting units to section8 tenants in the city? We are thinking of buying a discount urban duplex and seeking stable, ideally longer term, section8 tenants.

I'd like to hear what you have to say about the ins and outs of renting to urban section8 tenants.

(Also, is my photo rotated properly now? It always looked fine to me but people told me it was 90degrees off to them)

One thing I like about the one tenant I have on S8 is that the rent is ACH deposited into my account usually before the 1st (on the 31st!). That's for the portion the government pays at least. The tenant has been good so far as well.

I haven't had the property long enough to go through the annual inspection yet, we'll see how I feel about it then :)
