Please keep in mind even a level 4 is the same as smoking 8 cigarettes a day or getting 200 x rays. 

After all is accepted by the Housing Authority with the booklet, they will schedule an inspection where they come out and check a list of items including looking for peeling paint, windows open/close/lock, smoke detectors /co detectors / fire extinguishers all in the right locations, GFI receptacles in the correct locations, grounded receptacles if 3 prong (ground not needed if 2 prong), and the list goes on. 

Even with holes/tarp on roof and plywood over windows, the place still smelled like smoke. 

I would not include the smoking background and pet policies in every reply.     

 ran into a kid at Home Depot this morning with 45 smoke/co detectors in his cart, so I guessed he was a LL.

All of his youtube videos since then have touted Gold, Silver and Bitcoin.

They don't have any money for the down payment and want to find a property for "$0 down, creatively financed" but at the same time they'll pay $10k for a lying guru to blow smoke up their ***. 

And just to add to the fun, tenants smoked pot inside and it stinks! 

This property is in Montgomery County / Silver Springs area.

It seems newbies are being sold Section 8 investing as if it's a) some sort of complicated strategy, and b) a silver bullet to de-risk out of state investing.As you and I know, it's neither.I have multiple section 8 properties in Detroit.
