Has anyone heard of or taken a "Shelter Care Plus" voucher?

I have thought of something similar however as you mentioned maybe sending like a voucher or postcard with some fine print to cover you so it's not a guaranteed offer and you end up with something you don't want or can't sell.

So I’ve heard all about the issues that can come from accepting a section 8 voucher that only partially covers rent – the tenant is only responsible for $50/month, but still won’t/can’t pay it, and you wind up either evicting over that, or accepting only the money you get from the voucher.My question: can you choose not to rent to an applicant because their voucher only covers a part of the rent, and not the whole amount?

If you're not scared of low-income and Section 8 vouchers, which I'm not, then Henderson (and the thousands of towns in America like it) has literally a cornucopia of opportunity.

Hi Yall,I own a few rental properties around Atlanta, and I've been having a lot of trouble finding a good property manager for one house because it happens to be Section 8 voucher housing.

While some people would cringe at servicing that market, we find it's the safest, easiest, and most profitable way to do B/C-class SFH.  1) No felons allowed on the program, 2) you have the leverage of their housing voucher in addition to eviction (if they don't tow the line, you don't just evict them - they lose their voucher, and the waiting list in the Dallas area is 10 years...), 3) you typically can fetch a higher rent rate than what you would get on the open market, and best of all, 4) rent is deposited on time, every month via direct deposit by the Housing Authority.  

As a newbie, use it as an opportunity to figure out regulations, tenant screening, government voucher programs, cost of repairs etc.

My county is currently dealing with 1300 vouchers. 

They tend to not want to lose their voucher so they keep the place decent.

Tenants can be liars and outright thieves.Section 8 (tenant #2):With my first tenant finally gone, I was able to clean the unit and rent it to a Section 8 tenant.Finding a S8 tenant is very easy, just list your property on GoSection8.com and you'll get bombarded with inquires.I setup a scheduled viewing time on a Sunday afternoon, and had everyone apply electronically thru Apartments.comI sorted through the candidates applications, credit and background checks.Amazingly, my ultimate selection had been on the S8 waiting list for a voucher for almost 11 years.
