They take the success that have had (and I am only referring to people who have actually had success, I am not referring to scam artists that pretend to have had success but who have never actually had success) and they figure out a way to present the information in a way where they themselves don't need to teach it on a one on one basis.

We embrace S8 applicants, but screen them just like any other applicant.Many have an entitlement mentality and try to leverage their S8 voucher by pretending to be helpless:1) A percentage won't apply because they expect a landlord to waive application fees for them.2) Many cry broke and expect a landlord NOT to charge them a security deposit.3) Many of those same S8 tenants trying to avoid paying a security deposit, won't make an effort to call the list of nonprofits we send them that will pay their security deposit if they apply.4) A lot of them try to avoid paying for utilities.

We have seen banks doing extend and pretend with CRE owners and moving to get a lot of this debt off of their books.
