Liz Lynn Section 8 Tips?

Agree with above.The pros are that a large portion of the rent is virtually guaranteed, that you have another party to try to work out tenant issues with, and that the tenant is a little less likely to leave since their voucher limits their housing options.The cons are the hoops to jump through to get your property inspected, it can make bookkeeping a little more complicated with a property manager, and generally lower quality tenants.We don't actively look for or shy away from Section 8.

Once your rehab is done and you want a voucher candidate, expect to wait another 6-8 weeks to get you in the system and inspections.Now if you want a conservative 10% net return, you'll be buying in a nicer area, most likely market tenant, house will be in good shape, taxes will be very high, but you will have very few headaches, and maybe a chance at appreciation if your in the right spot.

I personally have either rented houses and apartments in low income areas preferably to Sec.8 voucher tenants or owner financed them with Contracts for Deeds (the tenant/buyer has more interest at heart, since he is more of an homeowner than a tenant.)Yes, you could put a blind ad like what you stated to see what kind of feedback you get first.Good luck!
