The Housing Choice Voucher program here is run by CMHA (Columbus Metropolitan Housing Authority).

Taxing authorities have had their eye on vacation rentals as a huge, new found pot of gold.  

I attend seminars, and real estate meet ups, as well as work with my local housing authority to keep up with the local tenant landlord laws. 3) We did all of our own maintenance.

Often, the builder’s agents act as gatekeepers and may not have the information or authority needed to make decisions.

The rules and payment standards vary significantly from one area to another, so familiarizing yourself with the local housing authority's procedures is key.

Also I am highly suspect of a company that would use an endorsement on their hope page of the controversial author Regina Jackson, whose claim to fame is hosting expensive workshops and writing books that claim all white people are racists. 

Im looking to purchase a couple of 3Br 1bath SFH in Cahokia IL and rent them to Section 8.Does anyone have experience with the local Section 8 authority?

Landlords should not be listed as an "Additional Insured" as that implies they have insurable interest (they don't) and have authority to file claims or receive coverage (such as in a lawsuit) from the renters insurance.  

Any change to the fees or entities listed in the disclosures provides to you an immediate authorization to cancel with for refund of all earnest money ….

I would let the tenant know that he is not authorized to live there.
