Recently closed on my first property and I put my unit on the market a few days ago but I’d like intake on 2 things:

1. renting to tenants with Section 8

2. renting to tenants with pets

ANY experience good or bad is welcomed

@Brittany Taylor I honestly prefer section 8 tenants especially ones that are coming from a 1 bedroom or something smaller. Both my tenants are section 8 and have been in my units for about 2 years now and they are wonderful people and have not caused any issues.

It all comes down to how well you screen prospective tenants.
