We use a voucher system so that we never get big draws, and limit the risk to the lenders.

New rental developments commonly have things like:[list]Nearby shopping or multi-use buildings w/retail on ground floor and lofts above.Nearby parking and extra storage available.Wireless Internet.Upgraded [fill in the blank]Ready access to public transportation or vouchers/subsidiesLaundry in-unit[/list:u]I have no idea what the market is like in your area and it does seem tough right now all around, but it might be worth looking at what you have (or have not) done with your rentals and see if you are still offering something competitive.With the explosive growth in RE investments, many by newbies who spent far too much money upgrading rentals, there are both more rentals on the market and they're in better average condition than before.

In my area there is a tremendous amount of good property for sale.I need to find more section 8/voucher/subsidized tenants.What is the best way to find them?

Remember no tenant is better than a bad tenant- practice the same screening criteria- read some more posts on BP, if you are local I don't think its a bad way to get started in this experience, especially if you plan to invest.I wouldn't think it could be all that bad in Gaithursburg- Voucher or not Screen THEM ALL!

Also in Massachusetts, I don't have the option to deny a Section 8 tenant because they hold a Section 8 voucher.

I would never take section 8 tenants where the voucher amount is less than the rent rate unless it is very minor.

Most landlords I know with S8 tenants feel very secure about those rent payments and would have more such tenants if there more vouchers out there.

Neighbors have lawn chairs, swings, and all kinds of **** all over their front lawns and back yards/porches, which you might expect in a low-income area.My Section 8 Question: How do I find out how much the vouchers are paying in the area? 

I personally haven't run into any fees or applications, or inspections except from county or federal funding agencies with vouchered tenants...but I have had a "registration" required in Dayton, OH.
