Our MN State landlord and tenant brochure states the following:****************Landlord DisclosureLandlords must provide their tenants, in writing, with the name and address of:The person authorized to manage the premises.(235)The owner of the premises or the owner’s authorized agent (the person or entity that will be receiving any notices or demands).(236)The addresses given must be a street address, not a post office box number, because it must be an address at which papers can be served (handed to the recipient).

IF SEC 8 tenants would do what these spoiled brats did, those voucher recipients will be on the street, and lose their privileges. 

Haven't investigated too closely to know if it's  accurate or not but the info is this: Huntsville is a recipient of a lot of defense and NASA related spending. 

Is this a good idea or should I be more picky on the specifics of the recipients rather than simply their location?

So as I see price's of course have risen and we are the recipients of this wind fall.. in many cases we are making 100k more than we thought we would make a year ago on just one single home.Its not funny money buying this stuff.I see more risk in the sub prime stuff IE owner carry contracts with bad credit ... low to no downs that type of thing I think that is where the buys will be..

Budget enough so that you can hit each recipient at least 3 times minimum.

The second anyone puts out their marketing piece, the recipient WILL do an online search to see if it is real.

That was kind of my thinking also @Matt Powell I think where the gray area lies is that this person (the recipient of the bonus) is being the liaison between the seller and the buyer (me), and that may be construed as acting as an agent.

Some payments do not have to be reported on Form 1099-MISC, although they may be taxable to the recipient.

A good tenant has never had their lawyer send me a letter.The most often used lawyers were "legal aid lawyers" which are provided free to welfare recipients.
