Tips on using rental properties as Section 8 housing in Atlanta
I understand there are a lot of people who steer clear of section 8 however I am wondering if there are any successful and knowledgeable Investors who are happy with having rental investments serving as section 8 housing. Some questions I have:
1. Ways to section 8 proof property to limit costly damages (ie: removing carpets or high priced appliances?)
2. What is the most desirable type of property for section 8 ? (2bd, 3bd, 4bd ? )
3. Easiest housing authority district to deal with in Atlanta metro area (if there is such a thing)
4. Any things you know now that you wish you knew in the beginning with investing with Section 8?
Any other tips would be welcomed. I am interested in how to create a product that would increase the chance of attracting the best type of section 8 tenant.
