Depending on where you're at, the local government office can be easy or a challenge to work with.. especially when it comes to inspections. The process to get signed up can be lengthy but onces you're approved as a section 8 landlord it gets a little easier. Section 8 has standards to ensure the tenants are living in a home that is up to code.
For tenants, generally it takes a long time to get approved so tenants usually work hard to keep their end of the bargain. Most tenants stay for a very long time as well because it is hard to find good homes with good landlords. As long as you're under contract and the home is up to code, you can almost guarantee you'll get paid. When vetting tenants, you want to select those who are working and not 100% reliable on government assistance. They also need to have skin on the game and this is where you find the good tenants.
