Renting Section 8 (Philadelphia, PA)

[Simond Wong]

Hi BP Fam! I am just starting on this journey in real estate and I am loving it so far. I am based in South Philadelphia. I am interested in hearing about your experiences with Section 8 Tenants, specifically:

1. Why did you choose to work with Section 8 Tenants?

2. What are the pros of working with section 8? 

3. What are the cons of working with Section 8?

4. How do you vet and interview your Section 8 tenants? What are specific questions you ask and specific attributes you seek in finding the right fit between tenant and landlord? 

5. Since we are 2020, what are some things you've wished you'd known prior to getting into Section 8, so that it would have made your experience more positive (hindsight 2020)

Please would appreciate your feedback, and hope to hear from you, thanks!
