The source as I see it could also be termed categories, wages, SSI, disability, child support, housing voucher, EBT, SNAP, alimony ect.In the case of saying "no garbage men", you are not discriminating against source of income as their income source is wages just as the local mailman's source is wages too.

What you really need to ponder is if you can handle the extra time and emotional energy the low income can zap - chasing rent, doing the same rehab over and over, not being able to go after damages.I would do Section 8 in a heartbeat, there are more incentives to do the right thing to keep or reinstate their vouchers.

If the landlord won't make repairs necessary to make the home habitable you probably need to contact your housing agency that your voucher is through and tell them about your issues and see if they will reinspect.

Anyways I had a lady stop by yesterday and said she had a Section 8 voucher for $850.

Now, as a result of this, what has ended up happening is that she has been kicked out of the Voucher program.

This, specifically, is to be applauded in my opinion:To encourage more landlords and property managers to participate in the HCV Program, HUD’s new Landlord Task Force will host a number of forums across the country to engage directly with housing providers, specifically those who do not participate in the voucher program.

Looks like HUD might be looking to make Section 8 and Housing Vouchers less difficult to accept by initiating listening sessions across the country. 

I have a mixture of tenants with and without vouchers and by far the ones with Section 8 vouchers are less maintenance.   

I'm going to get her to sell it to me. not sure if you know but how is the Housing Choice Voucher Program in Portsmouth candidate wise?

@Matt Shields, right now 6700 new units are being built in South Baltimore alone, crime is down this year, and the only reason why Baltimore is losing people is because the biggest voucher program in Baltimore called MBQ is forcing all new voucher holders to rent in opportunity areas, ie towns outside the city in Baltimore County areas with low crime, low unemployment, ie really nice areas where houses sell for 300K.
