I heard about that one on one of the BP podcast episodes with an investor in D.C. who exclusively rents 4 bedroom houses to voucher tenants. 

The property has numbers that look something like:2/ 3 bedroom, 1 bath units + 1 bedroom in-law unit in basement165k purchase price/ 160k FHA loan w 3.5% downPITI approx 1300 + (200/month for a renovation loan renovating the basement into livable condition) = 1500/month2 above ground Units Currently listed each at 1250/month. both are currently vacant, one is pending Section 8 voucher application.

If you want to really shake things up check rental rates in HUD and that will give you what the government values the rent at for voucher programs like Section 8 if you are interested and qualify to offer Section 8.

She is impeccably dressed etc.She unfortunately now as a senior finds herself with only Social Security Disability and Section 8 Voucher, will be getting assistance to pay her utilities. 

In my experience dealing with the BHA is one headache, but it's much easier if the voucher tenants don't have any portion they're responsible for - just one check/deposit reliably six days late, instead of chasing a tenant for $25 also.

I think it is because the voucher/award tenant has is free money and often find hard to find apartment willing to take section 8, thus accepting higher rents than market.Terry

Section 8 helps protect my investment because tenants do not want to lose their voucher, so they keep the property in good shape.

I have not yet committed to rent to this Section 8 voucher holder.

call the housing authority that issued the section 8 voucher and complain.

Rising rents across the board and section 8 vouchers have risen significantly in the lat two years.
