Future section 8 landlord

[Douglas Harris]

I'm currently in escrow of my first rental property. While I've heard many horror stories from landlords doing section 8, this program will provide more cash flow and I like the idea of helping the local community where there is a need.

I welcome any advice from anyone who has done or is currently doing section 8 rentals. What steps can I take to mitigate problems in the future? When screening a potential tenant what are some things I should look for that most section 8 landlords forget to do
