Managing our first Section 8

[Rhianna Cultrona]

Hi all! We are closing on a property in Akron. It is currently section 8 with a tenant in place. We have other properties that are not section 8 so we are familiar with the area. Our current PM isn’t taking new properties so we are thinking we might try to manage ourselves. This is risky since we are out of state so I am looking for pointers on how the transition works on a section 8 and really anything else you think could help my research. I was on the AMHA website and didn’t really find what I was looking for. TIA

Quote from @Austin McClain:

I recommend hiring a property manager if you're out of state. Managing a section 8 rental without being on the ground will be difficult. If you'd like some referrals I can send them over to review 

 I second this. How many units is this property?
