PA is a big place, and I'm not sure if all Section 8 offices in PA are the same, but in Philly you need to attend a mandatory orientation session and get a mandatory certification before you can even list your property for rent with Section 8 availability. 

Hello Fellow BPers,I'm heading to CT today for a day long scouting session.

@Kyle Stefano You might want to join TREIA (go to their website), and attend Triangle Deal Maker Sessions (go to MeetUp), and find any other local REI meetings you can.

In the Triangle, check out TAA (Triangle Apartment Association) or TREIA (Triangle Real Estate Investors Association) or Deal Maker Sessions (Triangle Real Estate Deal Maker Sessions on MeetUp, not on a website), as examples.

If your wife's townhouse is not currently renting for somewhere close to market rate it would also be a good idea to increase rent as much as is reasonable/feasible in the fairly short term, since it is highly likely (IMO) that next legislative session we see statewide rent control similar to Oregon's.   

Sometimes their speakers have trade show booths where you can speak directly with them or they are available before or after their speaking session.

Just goes to show What Gideon Tucker once said - No ones life, liberty, or property, are safe while the legislature is in session!

I've been here 15 years, and low season is basically when school is in session.

I think that for the 2018 legislative session, the issues of the overbids and the preservation improvements inherent in the current system were a top priority. 

Now, it seems like the initial feedback, after the first public kick off event, was that there was a huge amount of interest until it comes to the point, where people have to go and actually book a paid session.
