Why would any landlord list their properties for LESS than what the government is willing to pay?

I would describe the main differences this way:Pros - Rent is guaranteed by the government.

I ask because a lot of new investors are getting lured into the thought of them because you get paid by the government this alleged "guaranteed rent", but that's not really how it all works.The Section 8 website for your area or the larger one should have metrics per square foot for the area.

I rely on personal care assistants (PCAs) for daily help, which are fortunately covered by government benefits.

@Ryan Raven most states don't care if you screw up the management of real estate you own personally.The government does have a problem with an unlicensed person/company screwing up the management of properties they do not own.

I know there have been delays and issues during government shutdowns but this is a new one for me. 

By-right uses are much simpler since they don’t require additional government approval beyond standard permits.Development Standards: Once zoning is clear, factor in the regulations such as setbacks, parking requirements, density, and other local standards.

There is usually one for each State/Couty and a few Government DPA's that will cover down payment and closing costs as well.

If I do this, will IRS (or any other government entity) start looking at me and wondering what's going on?

Grants and Subsidies: Research local government or nonprofit programs that offer grants or subsidies for renovations, especially in designated revitalization areas.9.
