Landlord getting into section 8 rentals. Any Tips?

[Nicholas Stout]

I'm in the process of converting my properties into Section 8 rentals and wanted to connect with experienced landlords who have navigated this space. Have any of you faced challenges with getting your properties valued correctly for rent under the Section 8 program? The HUD guidelines suggest a certain rent amount, but after inspections, the figure came back significantly lower than expected.

Additionally, do you have any general tips for working within the bureaucracy of the Section 8 program? What should I expect in terms of timelines, paperwork, or other administrative hurdles?

Any insights or advice on these topics would be greatly appreciated. I'm still relatively new to this, and I’m looking to learn from those with more experience. Thank you in advance for your guidance!
