Section 8

[Hugo G.]

I am rehabbing a 2 bedroom 1 bathroom single family residence in Sacramento.  What are your experiences in government subsidized housing (section8)? None of our other properties are section 8 but we are thing about it for this one. The market rents are about 800-1100 month.

Neil G. If you fail the initial inspection they will not pay rent until you fix all the issues and they come back and reinspect.

So for example if your tenant moves in on June 1st and the inspection is the same day and you do not pass section 8 will pro rate the rent for that month until they return and you pass. So if they return on June 15th and you pass you will receive a check for 15 days worth of rent not the entire 30 days of the month.

As for the annual inspection they give you 30 days to correct any issues or will stop paying rent.
