Section 8 housing in Baltimore

[Lakshmi Maddali]

A little about me: I currently rent out and manage a couple of properties to conventional tenants in Maryland. These are mostly in the nicer suburbs.

I'm currently looking into buying properties for 100k< and renting them out to section 8 voucher tenants. I'm only looking at turnkey properties. I do plan on being a respectful and responsive landlord who does not plan on taking advantage of tenants. Does anyone have any advice for me?

1) What areas in Baltimore are the best to focus on?

2) is Baltimore overly tenant friendly?

3) What laws should I watch out for (for example am I allowed to have the water/electricity be under the tenant's name)

4) How hard is it to get the property section 8 approved in Baltimore?
