Would you rent to Section 8 for $85 more a month?

I have a property in Atlanta for rent at $1500 a month, but Section 8 is will to pay $1585 a month. Is it worth going through with it?

Lots of people say it does depend on the area, I can only speak for my tenants.

I love section 8 personally. guaranteed payments and increased rent?!?! I would take that deal.

The most important part (as always) is your screening process. Bad tenants don't get a chance, regardless of price. It's not worth a lousy tenant for an extra $1000/year, but there are plenty of good tenants who use S8
