So I just saw this post about Section 8 HUD tenants, and this post stated something along the lines of section 8 tenants being more likely to damage properties because they're section 8 low income tenants, and also something about investors not wanting to put money needed into Section 8 properties because they think they're just going to be ruined by these Section 8 tenants, and as someone who knows the entire process with investors, owners, contractors, tenants, and prospective tenants, this is what I have to say about it:In my experience, Section 8 HUD tenants are actually better custodians of the property because of many factors, but 3 of the main reasons being, there is an annual HUD inspection that is performed on each property, so this gives the owner an extra 'protection vector' against damages, also, the initial placement of a Section 8 HUD tenant requires a passing HUD inspection, therefore there's a record of the property's initial state prior to move in, and additionally, they want to have an easy renewal voucher process annually, and their unit remaining in good condition is an incentive for those reasons, therefore they are LESS likely to damage a property - their future depends on it!

there are 2 out of the 70 we have built that are going thorugh deteroration currently one you can tell from the outside.. the other I was in it the other day and the people are insanely messy.. hardwood floors ruined in less than 3 years just sad.. outside you would not know it.. but when they go to sell there will need to be a full gut remodel no doubt. 

I have had multiple incidents ruining my units.

Ive seen a title company say the wrong thing to the wrong person because they werent familiar with the personaility dynamics of the sellers of a property and it ruined the deal.

When I called them and asked for specifics as to what was wrong, the LIED about it and made something up when they never even inspected the dishwasher.Needless to say I moved my properties, but the Specialized brand is forever ruined for me and I would stay away.  

In a wholesale situation, the F.B.I. looks at all parties involved, does not care that you didn't know and can ruin your life for a long time to come.  

I cannot understand why someone would want to ruin a solid business partnership. 

I've had to keep parts of deposits a time or 2 for broken/ruined items. 

Problem here the tenant didn’t declare cats as pets.She ruined the unit in one full year and it took more than $11,000 to replace full floors in two level townhouse plus other water leaks damage.tenant left without telling.Now I am asking property management must visit quarterly to catch damages early on.Ozone machines did not help much.thanks

Hey everybody, I'm in a situation I never saw coming, and hoping for a little advice. I bought a house with my ex, and after a few years, we split up (on good terms). She wants to buy me out of my share of the house, ...
