4 unit new construction for section 8
Hello everyone, I'm interested in building a new construction 4 unit apartment building with at least 3beds and 2baths for each apartment and I will rent them out to section 8 voucher holders. I'm in Chicago and there is a need for more sec 8 apartments with this amount of rooms for many voucher holders that have children. My concern is that the tenants may be unhappy with the possibility of the number of children that will be living in the building. Potential noise or damage. I'm not sure if I'm overthinking this or if this could pose a problem. If anyone has any experience with this please let me know what you think.

Hi Zachary thanks for responding. You are correct I wanted to post another thread about the construction side of it also but wanted to get expert opinions first on the dynamics of the tenants that will occupy the building.
