I am a property owner myself and now the proud founder of RentWiseLA, a company dedicated to helping property owners navigate the complexities of the Section 8 program, especially when it comes to lease-ups and rent increases.Having spent years in the trenches, helping owners fill their vacant units with Section 8 families, I’ve always taken pride in educating property owners about the ins and outs of Section 8.

Dive in, ask questions, and share your insights—we can’t wait to see where this journey takes you!

Best of luck on the journey!
