For starters one thing negative in my market which is Baltimore and DC is voucher recipients doht want these homes because the voucher allows them to get better even if you fix it up. 

The vast majority of our investors like Richmond County because they can purchase a 4 bedroom property in a decent rental neighborhood for $35,000- $45,000 and rent it for $750.00 ( This is the value of an Housing Authority 4 bedroom voucher in Richmond County and is typically used as the baseline for setting rental amounts).

The tenant is aware of the inspection and most often will make sure they do not risk losing their voucher.

I believe that in order for the tenant's voucher to be in jeopardy he has to have a drug charge.  

My one complaint would be with Section 8 tenants (and we sometimes have them)  asking me to take yet another $100-$300 off so their voucher can cover a newly renovated place.  

At some point there will need to be more vouchers and such in place so that the workers at the bottom will be able to live in these places to support the economy.

All this to obtain assisted living (RENT) expenses, they pay what they can and rest is subsidized at a higher rate then local rent levels. 2.Buy the property out of the USDA program and it will be converted to Section 8 or Voucher program which the current tenants will qualify for but at a reduced rent and would be a whole lot simpler to manage.Thoughts, question, opinions, advice a shoe of the side of my head, at this point anything will do.Thanks for your timeMike

Fresno, less desirable than coastal Santa Cruz), get the voucher there within 2 weeks, keep the voucher in Fresno for 6 months, then get the voucher transferred to Santa Cruz.

-The ability to take away their voucher.

There are thousands of people waiting for rental properties in Columbia and the area. 5000 Section 8 vouchers without space available and it pushes upward.
