@Olivia Blake how much money will you potentially lose by strong-arming a tenant and then having them break the lease early - or even just not renew?

If you try to go over the whole list, you’ll lose the attention of an average person and they won’t remember anything!

A lot of those loans were made to people who never had a chance to actually pay back the loan and that resulted in a lot of people losing their homes.

Hope you don't put down large earnest money deposits... these guys will make sure you lose them! 

One thing you might think of doing is having and promoting your own website to avoid the exhorbitant fees charged by the third party sites such as Expedia, Booking.com and Air BnB.

Have you ever heard of a Landlord being sued by a Tenant and losing property?

Some general pros v cons - I'm sure other people will provide other insights as wellPros: -Above market rents- Monthly rent payment on time that you don't have to worry about or chase anyone down for (if full pay)- No shortage of tenants depending on your standards - Tenants are incentivized to not trash/destroy the unit, otherwise they'll lose their voucher (Yearly inspections made by local S8 inspectors to keep everyone honest- Rental payouts are normally adjusted 1-2 times a year to keep up with market rentsCons:- May take a little while to get onboarded - dealing with local govt can always take longer than expected   - Generally won't have a super high credit score (to be expected given it's the govt paying for rent)- Each unit will need to be inspected and meet a certain living standard in order to be approved for fundingYou'll want to make sure you work with a property manager who has extensive experience in working with S8.
