Section 8 Housing Montgomery County PA
Hello BP, I’m looking into a property in Norristown, PA that has Section 8 housing. I’ve heard that the severity of yearly inspection can be a huge factor in cash flow. Does anyone own Section 8 housing in Montgomery County PA to offer insight on how strict inspections are?

We have two section 8 tenants in Norristown. I find the inspections to be reasonable but trying to deal with them with tenants there is a challenge. Each year I have holes in walls that need repair, screen doors broken, missing screens, dirty walls and heavily soiled carpet as examples. I have found the initial inspection, prior to move in, to be fair. I was very frustrated getting my last tenant approved and able to move in. The Montco Housing Authority took 3-4 weeks to review the application and authorize the inspection to be scheduled. Overall, I lost more than 1 month rent given the extended move in process. Good luck.
