Section 8 Experience

[Eric Weireter]

I've got a vacant apartment in Carnegie that I just started marketing. I've had about 3 inquiries asking if I accept Section 8. Frankly, I never thought about it, but am curious to know the experience of other investors in the market:

• What's the process to become an approved landlord/property?
• How long does the process take?
• How accurate is the is  ACHA Fair Market Rent Schedule vs. what you are receiving/charging?
• Part of me wonders if I would even pass inspection because my property doesn't have an entry/front door (you have to enter through the garage door).

Thanks in advance for your insight.
