Sec 8 Local HA not helpful, not answering my FMR rent questions
My Local Housing Authority is not responding to my email. We called and found they are not friendly nor helpful.
My first question, are the small area FMRs published on https://huduser.gov, is that just a max that can be charged? What I mean is if the local fair market rents are not that high, will the HA still allow/approve rent well above FMR for that zip code? Target area is Southern Maryland.
My second question, how can I determine if the market has a need before I purchase the investment property? Post a phony on Craigslist? Maybe gosection8.com?
