On the flip side, if you've got a bunch of Section 8 tenants living in a building that's in a neighborhood where a lot of the tenant base has good jobs, high credit scores, and are generally reliable people, you've got the most risky tenants in that tenant base and that ain't what ya want.

It's so important to surround yourself with strong people (i learned that the hard waY...) 

I believe if people make money and there is sufficient housing supply, housing will become affordable. 

Your relative is not a tenant screening service and you should not accept tenant placements from people you know.

The subgroups are usually smaller and easier to get to know people.

Using different rental criteria for people with children than without, COULD be seen as a violation of that law.

I recommend talking to people and asking around.

Also, it lends itself to unconscious bias because we are more likely to view negatively people who are different than us.
