@Sam ZdrumBased on the fact pattern that you provided, no you would not do that.

He understands how to look at the right data to make sense of and predict real estate patterns.

@Antonio Daniels 1-there are no different standards for screening...what you will find is that they will likely not meet your earning requirements (like 3x rent)...so you have to make exceptions...they also have very colorful backgrounds for the most part...after screening hundreds of section 8 tenants, definite patterns will appear...if you have a credit score requirement, odds are they will not meet there either (but there are fantastic voucher tenants out there as well...I've rented to nurses and other professionals with a voucher do to having a disabled child that needs a lot of services)...the one thing to be aware of is not treating them differently because they have voucher...2-The inspection depends on local authority, but the standards are the same...this is a federal program...so Housing Quality Standards (HQS) is the guiding document...how an inspector interprets that is another story...https://www.hud.gov/sites/dfil...3-Usually you will only have recertification annually, or possibly at an income change or a request or complaint...4-100%, it's one of the best sources of long-term steady income out there...I'll take a section 8 tenant over a white collar A-class tenant any day...plus you are helping to house the most vulnerable and underserved population out there.The bad things you hear about section 8 are from folks that do not understand the system and how it works, or want to be slumlords and not take care of their properties...or are ill prepared to deal with people in general.

I think you can't be 100% about anything, and I start there because I caught a lot of emotion-driven thought patterns in how you are viewing the situation.

(Seeing a pattern here?)

- Updated the master bathroom with fresh paint, lighting, a new double sink marble-top vanity, mirrors and shower fixtures.- Updated guest bathroom with fresh paint, lighting, mirrors, marble-top vanity, and a new tub & tub surround. - Updated entire home with LED lighting, new can lights in the living room and kitchen. - New Electric Breaker Panel What was the outcome?

This is your business and pattern of behavior.2.

There are an enormous amount of options for tile, and you will typically see simpler (cheaper) patterns and designs in the lower priced homes, and so on as you move up the price point of the property. 

The Austin market continues to stabilize and return to its typical seasonal pattern.

They may or may not have health issues, but if this is a repeated pattern, I'd think the latter.
