Section 8 — Tips for the Landlord Wanted

[Heather Schmidtknecht]

I recently posted an ad on Zillow, Craigslist, and Facebook for my 3-bed, 2-bath SFR. I received numerous inquiries, 75% of which asked if I accepted Section 8. I am trying to learn more about the pros/cons of considering Section 8 (I would not plan to lower my rent, my standards for selecting a tenant, or my expectations for the tenant to follow the stipulations of the signed lease).

P.S. I’d like to keep this discussion non-judgmental please. ;)
