Screening Section 8 Tenants

[Terri Smith]

Hi Everyone,

I'm pretty new to Bigger Pockets and am working on my first property. I've listened to podcasts and YouTube videos on tenant screening but am interested to hear how you apply those to section 8 tenants.  I have a 3/1 in Baltimore. Rent would be $1,400/mo.

Are you charging a full month of rent for a security deposit?

Income requirements - 3x's the rent (including voucher as income)?

Credit score requirement - 600+

All feedback is appreciated.

Thanks!
