section 8 renters zip code 60651

[Account Closed]

In the process of purchasing and rehabbing multi unit, 2 units: 2ba 1 br 1100 sqft in the 60651 area code. Upon completion of rehab I plan to use section 8 renters. I have had a not so pleasant experience with section 8 when I couldn't pass inspection 3 separate times with 3 separate inspectors giving me 3 totally different punch list. This was after i completed the first two list in its entirety. It was a total waste of my time and the potential renters time who was trying to move out of her illegal apartment (only one entrance)

I realize there is the application, inspection and advertisement process via section 8 but does anyone have any time saving and friendly advice in dealing with bureaucratic nonsense associated with any government agency.

A few general questions

1. What's the best way to screen section 8 tenant? Is that even possible?
2. What's the section 8 market in Chicago like? I've heard section 8 tenants are unappreciative and won't take care of the property but like anything else, there are good tenants and bad ones, whether they are section 8 or not. That's the nature of the business right?
3. Do you advertise through section 8 website or through craigslist other ads?

Appreciate any and all responses
