Section 8 in KCK? Anyone have experience

Does anyone has experience trying to do Section 8 on the Kansas side in Wyandotte County? I am currently researching this option and interested in what other investors experience has been like.

1) Once you have your property licensed and passed to do section 8 how long does it generally take to get a tenant? Is there a surplus of properties or a shortage? 

2) How difficult is it to get a property passed? I know inspectors can very as to how strict they are. I have been dealing with KCK city to get licensed every year and I am inspected every year right now with my property. But so far that process has not been to crazy. They ask for common sense safety issues to be done right, in my experience, nothing I would argue or complain about. I am wondering if that has been other people's experience with section 8? 

Any tips on navigating the process of becoming section ready are welcome! Thanks folks!

Chris
