Post: Section 8 Tenants?

My question is for those of you that rent to section 8 tenants:

1) Are they reliable tenants?
2) Do you have to deal with more problems with lower income than with your higher end rentals?

I currently own a couple of rentals that are in good areas and I don't have any problems renting them or dealing with bad tenants, but I have been looking at lower income properties that have great cash flow. I just find it hard walking into these dumps and I am not sure if I am ready to deal with the lower income crowd. Maybe I am worrying for nothing?

Any experienced feedback is appreciated.
