Section 8 - $300 More a Month!

Tomiko Graves

Posted

Good morning landlords!

I am strongly considering making my Maryland rental a Section 8 rental because I can get $300 more each month.  I am totally clueless as to the process; however, I do know that I have to screen my Section 8 tenants the same way I screen other tenants.

Is someone willing to share their process for screening (application, background check, etc.)?  I also have found it extremely challenging to talk with a live person from housing that can assist.  Any recommendations on that?
