Do you like Section 8?

Hey guys,

I'm debating about dabbing into the Section 8 housing pool as a landlord and want to know if any of you have had good or bad experiences. Do you recommend it? Why or why not?

I see green lights all the way, but from my general past experiences, this is when I should pull over, get out of the car and look both ways :cool:

Hi- Sorry to take so long getting back to your questions. Yes I do go to and take care of my properties myself. Though I mainly only go during daylight hours. Though I haven't read The Section 8 Bible I can tell you this. I fix things when they break, paint as needed between tenants, give to tenants clean and expect clean in return. I visit each every 3 months or so. My tenants are poor and struggling but I treat them with respect and get respect in return. Like Jennifer says we also rent to them if they meet our critieria. And to repeat Jennifer again the Housing Authority sends me a check every month. Good luck all. Cheers, Richard
