Section 8 for Finding New Tenants

[Cyndie Rogers]

I have heard good and bad things about Section 8.  Does anyone out there have any up to date information based on personal experience with this program?   I know they have had defunding issues in the past and with the current administration making a lot of changes I was wondering if it is still a valid option.

I love SEC 8, especially in a market like today where renters income can be unstable. It’s basically rent insurance for the landlord - for free. If you search BP for SEC 8 you will find hundreds of thousands of posts. The topic comes up ALOT. My poor fingers got tired of typing the same thing over and over, so I put my tips and tricks in a blog post. Here’s a link if you want to check it out.
