I have dealt with most of the Section 8 offices in SE Michigan. There's no real place to sign up. Just advertise that you accept it and the tenants will call you. You can post ads with some offices, but seems to be a waste of time. Your best bet is to advertise on rentlinx.com and click the box that you accept vouchers. From there, it will go to the Michigan housing locator where most Section 8 workers tell their tenants to look. As far as rents, you can charge what the market will bear. Section 8 will calculate to make sure it's not too much and make sure the tenant can afford it.
Every office in the area is different. Most are good to deal with, but two are terrible. I won't post them here, but PM me if you want to know. One is a huge beaurocratic mess and the other is run by the anti-Christ.
@Rob K., could you PM me the info too? Looking into section 8 and would love to avoid a minefield. Thanks
