I’m an investor and as such my goal is to get market rent for my property.  If I can do that and provide affordable housing by having a Section 8 tenant and the government pay part of it so be it. But I’m here to increase and get bigger pockets, not subsidized someone else. 

You can call me cold and heartless, but you’ll have to call me on vacation because I’ll be there more often then any where else. :)
