I recommend focusing on getting a great investment property and disregarding Section 8 in that pursuit because any property can be a Section 8 property, but a lousy investment is lousy regardless of having a Section 8 tenant or not.Section 8 will perform a basic functional and safety inspection for your units after you have an agreement with a Section 8 tenant and your local housing authority.

Didn't the authorities notify of the sale? 

My plan was to "self-perform" a land contract by filling out a purchase and sales agreement for a land contract that specifies I will take over the mortgage payments, get authorized on their mortgage, and be authorized essentially to fix up the property and eventually sell it on the MLS since the land contract will give me that control/equitable interest.

A good rule - as long as the plumbing and electric has been updated, a well-built home from the mid-20th century is a better investment and will likely outlast a newer build.Credit to the respective author

If this person holds a sales license, I’d report it to the proper authorities.

As soon as allowed by Authorities, We have several Teams going into NC, SC & TN to setup temporary shelters (TH/Fema Trailers), Food & H2O, Chainsaw Crews & Cleanup Crews, Gen Crew (electricians) & Etc..

When we felt uncomfortable with this, and asked them to process a section 8 prospective tenant, they say they wont work with section 8 applicants because housing authority will pay the rent directly to the owner.

They generally have large portfolios allowing for in house maintenance and management staff along with a point person who is communicating with the local housing authority on a regular basis and has the ability to streamline operations. 

Direct dealing with the Landbank Authority for that jurisdiction.
