Section 8 Experience

I've got a vacant apartment in Carnegie that I just started marketing. I've had about 3 inquiries asking if I accept Section 8. Frankly, I never thought about it, but am curious to know the experience of other investors in the market:

  • What's the process to become an approved landlord/property?
  • How long does the process take?
  • How accurate is the is  ACHA Fair Market Rent Schedule vs. what you are receiving/charging?
  • Part of me wonders if I would even pass inspection because my property doesn't have an entry/front door (you have to enter through the garage door).

Thanks in advance for your insight.
