Setting rent price for Section 8

[James H.]

It is my understanding that you can get a little more for Section 8 rents in many cases than you can from private market. How do you determine what the max amount you could set for rent and still get section 8 tenants?

Anybody with experience in Arlington, Texas or north Texas would be great, but I am open to what everyone has to say.

Thanks

Yes K. Marie Sec 8 told me that they are not issuing new vouchers and have not done so for almost a year. Dayton sec 8 also has a website to list property and where there pool of voucher holders can look for property.

If I could rent solely to section 8 I would do so and each and every property I own is one I would live in myself. Sometimes the simplicity of living in a 800sf home seems inviting but my wife and 3 daughters would miss me because they would never move.
