Section 8 questions (Burlington County, NJ)

Account Closed

Hi guys, I have a vacant 3br house in Burlington NJ, and many applicants ask if I accept section 8. I'm looking for general advice in enrolling in the program.

Specific questions include:

1] Looking at the FMR, a 3-BR is listed at $1500. My house is currently listed for less than that. How do I know exactly how much section 8 would pay towards a specific property?

2] What advice would you have regarding screening? 

3] Are there any sec8 optimized lease terms I should consider? 

4] How exactly do I register and get the apartment registered? 

5] Who typically pays for the downpayment? 

Thank you
