Section 8 Utilities

[Misael Carlos Vera]

Hey everyone,

I'm house hacking my first property in Chambersburg, PA. When I move out I hope to make it a section 8 rental. I researched fair market rent (FMR) and a 2 bedroom unit rents for $897/month in Franklin County, PA.

Does FMR include utilities? Meaning, does the $897/month figure also include utility costs or is that figure purely rent?

Also, does anyone know if Franklin County is a good section 8 rental area?

Yes FMR typically includes utilities. That sounds on par with the area
