Background on Section 8 renters.

[John DeFoor]

I just purchased my first rental property and have been considering doing Section 8 rental on this property. The question that I have is about the income requirements that I would like to use. I would like to see 3x the amount of income to rent. So when looking at this would I factor that in on what the occupants share of the rent is or how do some of the seasoned investor with Section 8 handle this aspect of things. A little confused on this aspect.

thanks
