Section 8 Screening Checklist

Posted

We're a long term landlords (1999) but we've never done section 8 housing. Anyone in BP land willing to hand-hold through our first rodeo? I'm wondering if there's a screening checklist, certain credit score, etc. We don't want to recreate the wheel. Also interested in any other tips and tricks, do's and don'ts you have experienced. Thanks in advance.

    @John Wallace, I love Section 8 - it's all I do and I answer a lot of posts on here on BP about it. Instead of regurgitating all that info, I hope it's ok to suggest that you take a look at my Forum posts on my profile. I think you'll get most if not all the answers you're looking for and probably some you didn't know to ask.

    If there's anything I've missed after that, let me know and I'll answer - here or by message, whichever is best for you. Good luck!
