Question on Section 8 Montgomery Co MD
Hi, I own a property in Montgomery County, MD and it has been rented for the last 5 years.
Given the current situation, I had decided to re-list and go for Section 8 tenants only.
I am looking for advice from other section 8 landlords in Montgomery Co. MD:
Do I need to apply first to the housing department and then find a section 8 tenant? or the other way around?
How is the inspection? What is usually observed while inspected? I understand some counties are stricter than others.
Is there a cap on the rent amount?
Where do I apply? and do you know how long is the process? Any links would be appreciated.
Best regards,
Sergio

@Andrew Einsmann thanks for the advice.
My experience was positive to go for the section 8 voucher.
The process was very smooth and straight forward. The inspection also was very friendly, I had some observations during the 1st inspection but all passed after making corrections.
Tenant moved mid-May and this month auto-pay from HOC kicked in.
