Section-8 Investors Please give your opinions / thoughts!

[Avi Zarbavel]

Hello Bigger Pockets, My team and I are looking for a tip to point us into the right direction of how to convert our current tenant from regular rent she pays to a Sect. 8 Voucher (where rents in that zip code are much higher), she will have a percentage of the monthly rent paid for her by the government. Where we find a drawback on this move is our lack of knowledge of the legality of the question: "Can the Investment owner  Legally ask their tenant to try to apply for the section 8 voucher?" If anyone knows the answer please leave a reply and any other cool section 8 or real estate tips / things to avoid.

Thanks!

Avi.
