Section 8 in Montgomery County, PA

[Michael Campbell]

Hello,

Just wondering if anyone is renting to Section 8 tenants in Montgomery County, PA or anywhere in the SEPA region.  I spoke to someone at the Montgomery County Housing Authority so I could better understand the process of renting to Section 8 and it seems fairly straight forward with potentially higher rents than market-rate.  

Just wanted to get some perspective from someone who is doing this because I'm currently considering marketing to Section 8 for my duplex in Bridgeport.  I understand the increased risks with Section 8, but it seems like the rent could potentially much higher for a Section 8 tenant so I want to consider it as an option.

Any thoughts or comments are appreciated.
