Sect 8 vs Free market
Hey guys, I have a question regarding sect 8 vs free market tenants. Do you find that sect 8 tenants are a better choice for lower end properties? It seems that sect 8 tenants will be more likely to stay longer than free market tenants. Also, in theory, they will take better care of the unit because they can loose their sect 8 privileges if they destroy the place. My property manager specializes in sect 8 housing and knows the system well. The guaranteed rent is a big plus too. Thoughts/comments?
