Difficulty Finding Section 8 Tenatnts

[Cole Agnew]

I am having a difficult time finding section 8 tenants. I gave an advertisement to the local PHA and they at least claim that they distributed it to their list of voucher holders, but either they did not do so, or nobody that has seen it is interested because I have no contacts yet. I also advertised on affordablehousing.com with little success. The rent is listed a little above market value, but that is because Section 8 will pay it, that is why investors are incentivized to rent to Section 8 and go through all the extra steps. Does anyone have any advice on what I should do? Currently just losing money to a mortgage on an empty house.
