I have a section 8 rental in Washington DC now worth $410,000 I paid $160,000 4 or 5 years ago.I went section 8 because the neighborhood was not that great and in Wash DC it can take 6 months to evict so I choose the guaranteed income approach and I got a full deposit.1) I failed a Section 8 inspection for the broken window latch, in a closet on the third floor on the third inspection2) Mysterious thing "break" dining room chandelier, two exterior lights. ( before I purchased the house was VACANT for one year and nothing like this happened)3) self entitled attitude of occupants who are living for free4) house is DIRTY- really just broom sweep my beautiful hardwood floors.5) difficult to get them out.6) rent increases of 3% is WAY under market.7) with Covid tenant does not want me in house8) the 1099 income is fully taxable
