Would you rent to a section 8?
Long story short I never dealt with section 8.
She is a single mom with 5 kids, yes 5 kids. Right away I can see the kids damaging everything. Rent is $1050 a month and section 8 will pay for $800+ each month. She does have a job and from what this hud person I have been dealing with who called about the property is she wants to get the kids in a much better school district and will be moving alot closer to her job... The property right now is in decent shape. 3 bed 1500sqft and shes very excited and hopes it works out..
Would you accept or decline them and is there anything else I should know?
Thanks again
Nate
