1)How do you screen Section 8 Housing tenants? Or does the government do that for you?
Use a company like resident research. The gov does nothing for you
2) I'm assuming the payments from the government are prompt, but what about the tenant portion? Would you continue letting the tenant live there if they don't pay their portion?
They pay between the 1-3 usually.
You have to figure out what is morally and ethically right for you sir.
3) What is the overall process of becoming a Section 8 landlord? Is it a hassle to become a Section 8 landlord? What paperwork is required and does the government provide you tenants or do you still have to market your property for people to occupy your property?
Lot of paperwork especially for new landlord. You have to take a mandatory class at AHA so contact them.
Once your in the system it is much easier.
4) What are the pros and cons of being a Section 8 Landlord?
Life is what you make it.
5) Is the process of evicting a Section 8 tenant the same as a regular tenant?
Yes.
