[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]I've heard good and bad about section 8.[/b]  You do have to screen very well, because there is no shortage of bad section 8 clients, they will trash your property and suing will be pointless because they are broke anyway. My dad rented a house to a lady with like 5 kids on section 8 and they completely trashed it.  It was a nice house on the outside but when you walked in, it was a total disaster zone.

Too many section 8 types can also bring an area down.  The wrong types can also bring an area down.  You get some of the ladies who end up having their boyfriends illegally move in and conducting illegal activities so make sure to keep a watchful eye on your property.

I like how you only passed on the bad stuff you've heard. My friend has been a section 8 renter for the past decade because her children have an inherited genetic disease and she can only work part time. She has to rent a house rather than an apartment because she needs hard floors for the wheelchairs, rooms large enough to accommodate hospital beds, wheelchair ramp and parking for a van. Both home she has rented, she has done as much of the maintenance as she can either herself or through friends, family, and volunteers. [/quote]
