The section 8 tend to have a more (parent,child) relationship with their case workers where they yell, scream, and complain to get what they want but never learn life lessons to start fending for themselves.Physically the tenants might be a certain age but mentality their growth arrested a long time ago.I am not saying all section 8 Is bad.

Hi everybody,I'm really excited to join BiggerPockets which I found out about through investfourmore.comI've a full time job at a consulting firm in downtown Houston, however I'm trying to get into REI part-time.My wife and I currently have 2 rentals - one in medical center and other in downtown houston.Originally from India, my parents always taught me to save and invest in real estate whenever I could.
