Ha ha @Matt Wray , the whole time I was reading your post I kept trying to guess which Charlotte neighborhoods those were and then I saw your follow-up post!  

In OR, you can't turn an applicant down solely on their source of funds and a Sec 8 voucher is income.On the plus side, you get your check on the 1st from the H/A like clockwork and only have to chase the tenant for the co-pay.The other thing, at least in Portland, is if you get the caseworker's contact and the tenant starts acting up, you can call the case worker and they can pull vouchers.

If you want to speak on area specifics message me and I have a few prime area, dont believe the woo ha about Detroit being the worst place to invest.

That's a lot of weeds to pick if you're in a C-D class neighborhood. ha haThanks for the tip @Ken Musial 

Ha!

You can wave "hi" on walks, ha!

Our local HA (not sure if this is consistent throughout the US) requires landlords to offer a one year lease to any Section 8 voucher recipient.  

After providing the tenant and the housing authority with the required 30days notice of lease non-renewal , i discovered that the housing authority decided to not pay me for the last month of contract, stating they had to pay the new land lord (the one where my tenant is moving to)Funny enough, the section 8 contract does;t state any obligations or penalties for the HA in the case of non payment and also stipulates that the landlord cannot turn to the tenant to cover the missing voucher....

I didn't even recognize you by your profile pic, ha!

I was talking to another guy about property values, Alcorn graduate actually ha, and he said things are starting to increase around Clinton and south.
