Section 8 and Housing Tenants Pros and Cons
We've purchased our first investment property in a "revitalization" neighborhood. It has been on the market for about two months now. We originally didn't accept section 8 or housing tenants, but are reconsidering because the property has yet to be rented. We were hoping to attract tenants that may be more steady in their finances. However, that has not beenthe case. What are some experiences, pros and cons, with section 8 and housing tenants?
