Finding a quality Section 8 tenant may be very challenging, but not impossible.

If you knew how to create high quality, professional deliverables for clients you would increase your value to an employer and within the industry.

I find it a little surprising the outstanding taxes are so low.  

So I feel pretty confident that the quality of the apartments and price point are not the issue.

It seems like your looking for quality renters consider other options that add value. 

Regular retail rates per sq ft even for larger spaces rarely dip below 10 sq ft.I would question the quality of the area at such a level.

@Julian Buick My opinion of a top rated investor or flipper is someone or a company that only wants quality craftsmanship on all of their properties and would never consider hiring a non licensed, bonded or insured company or individual to have work completed.

She says he's one of the only reputable and affordable contractors she can find due to other contractors' lack of follow through, availability to do estimates and lack of quality work in the past.

We use in house handymen to control quality and cost and its not unusual.
