Advice on investment real estate with Section 8 tenants

[Christopher Aleman]

I am a new member who lives in Georgia, I've met a couple of people that recommended using Section 8 tenants for real estate investments, but I'm not entirely sure that's the safest route to take.  Any past experiences or advice would be greatly appreciated!

Christopher, I have multiple properties in the Atlanta area and only do Section 8!  I have found that there are great Section 8 tenants and bad Section 8 tenants just like there are good and bad "free market" tenants.  The difference is with section 8, you always get paid!

There are some more differences...more paperwork, inspections, etc...but I will never go back to "free market"
