Section 8 housing
Hello,
I am considering purchasing a multifamily property with 25 units in Cleveland Heights. The plan is to replace all current free-market tenants with Section 8 tenants, as the rents are higher. Since this will be my first time buying out of state, does anyone have any advice or experience with this process? Additionally, how long does it typically take to convert the units from free-market to Section 8?
Thanks for the help.
