Quote from @Tiffany U.:
My dads house was in that area an I had it listed with section 8. From what I remember you have to submit the house for approval. Section 8 has a list of requirements that their homes must meet they will give that to you. You will need to find a contractor who can make the property section 8 ready. Your home will be inspected yearly as part of the requirements of Section 8. I've heard good and bad about section 8 renters. But you can have bad renters that aren't using the program. The pro's for me were that I didn't need to chase after renters for rent because Section 8 mails it to you directly and the yearly inspections were a pro for me because I know what I need to do in the house. This was pro for me being so far away from the property. I end up letting the property go for other reasons (that I regret) but I hope that was helpful.
From what I have read the majority of section 8 tenants have been vetted heavily by their case worker. Many tenants have been on the waiting list for a number of years so the chance of any issues is extremely low. From what I have gained you can also vet them yourself to ensure they meet your tenant standards. Other than that, I’m new to this area and ready to invest.
