Section 8 Eviction - Moral Dilemmna?

Isaac Worley
Posted

I'm looking to purchase two properties locally that I plan to BRRRR. All current tenants are on month to month leases, have a disability, and are part of Section 8.

Id like to purchase one property for 70k, rehab for 30k and refi for 150k. This is a perfect opportunity.

My issue:

Tenants have occupied their units (3 total) for 10+ yrs.

This is a rural town with a population of 5,000 people. Rentals are extremely scarce. Section 8 housing is almost nonexistent.

If I follow through and BRRRR this property I will have to evict these disabled tenants into the toughest local rental market I've ever seen.

Is there a way I can morally tackle this deal? I feel conflicted - the property will likely be sold whether or not I purchase it. Is there a way to help them relocate? I’d hate to make people homeless so I can make a quick buck. Advice?

Thanks!
