Section 8 in Massachusetts

[Ryan Moffett]

Hi everyone I need some advice

I have recently bought a condo with tenant in place and an agreed upon rent price. After speaking with her I learned that she is on disability and 90% of her income goes to rent. The rent on this unit is below market rate and if i lower the rent anymore for her I will be in the red. My question is should I apply to be a section 8 landlord and have her apply for section 8? From the research I have done it looks like I could get market rate for the condo and my tenant could pay less.

All guidance would be much appreciated.

Thank you

Ryan
