That would be my first guess (as that is right about the current 3bd vouchers).Are you trying to do something with Owner financing, thus the rejection?

As you know, the voucher goes with the tenant and in my experience, the tenants are harder on the houses than non Section 8 tenants.

I guess what im try to figure out is if anyone charging $200-300 more above the rental value because of the section 8 vouchers?

., market top) is going to be when people start getting excited about properties in Woonsocket again.What @Brandon Ingegneri was being polite about saying, is that most of Woonsocket is a tough area.I would strongly recommend visiting the property in the daytime, evening, and weekends, and talk to neighbors and people in the area to get a sense of who you'll be dealing with.Woonsocket has a lot of tenants who get rental assistance (section 8 or RI housing vouchers), which is not necessarily a bad thing but you must screen them as well as you would any other tenant - and in Woonsocket you must screen thoroughly.I would venture to say that a not insignificant portion of the the state's "professional tenants" (who move in to one property, pay no or partial rent to string the free ride along as much as possible - they love new landlords - then get evicted and repeat the process) reside in Woonsocket.Others have spoken to the peculiarities of the building well so I won't repeat that, but as a general rule if the property deviates from the "usual" in some way, like a slate roof or geothermal heating, you want to be extra careful that you understand what you're getting into, even if it means paying a professional for a real inspection/evaluation.

Just a word of caution--I'm not sure what the rules are about tenant denial where you are located(maybe there aren't any beyond the usual Fair Housing requirements where you are), but here in Portland, OR, there is an expanded list of conditions that protect tenants from denial as part of the rent control program here (for example, you cannot deny someone solely based on them using Section 8 vouchers if they can meet all other criteria).
