Tyress Wilson Section 8 housing?
10 May 2015 | 6 replies
It may be different in your area, but I'll use my experience to explain.Step #1: You find a tenant that has a section 8 voucherStep #2: You and the tenant fill out a contract for section 8Step #3: Sec 8 will inspect the unit, and will tell you what needs fixed to conform to Housing Quality Standards (HQS) They are nearly guaranteed to find SOMETHING you have to fix.Step #4: Once repairs are made, tenant will be given a move in date, and section 8 will determine what the rent will be for the unit, and how much of that rent the tenant will pay based on the tenants income (they cannot pay more than 30% of their income in rent) the Fair Market Rent (FMR) and the utility worksheet (the FMR is reduced based on what utilities the tenant pays).Step #5: Every month Section 8 will pay you their portion (unless there is some issues with the tenant or unit), and you'll have to chase the tenant for theirs.In my experience, Section 8 will not spend the time to inspect a unit until you have a vouchered prospective tenant.

Here were some of my conclusions:Rent seems reasonableThe price is ~8% higher than the median home value in the area (I prefer homes in the 70%-100% of median range)Trailing 5-year average appreciation rate for this neighborhood has been 0.59%35%+ of the neighborhood rents (I like < 25%)Crime is not greatSchools are not greatLast tax assessment was $5,308 vs. the pro forma's $4,680Insurance might come in higher than the pro forma based on the neighborhood profileMy data suggests vacancy & turnover is an issue in this neighborhoodThis provider also offers a 1-year rent & maintenance guarantee, so their pro formas don't include allowances for vacancy or maintenance.
