Welcome to our meetup!

Topic: Section 8 Housing

Some landlords have concerns about renting to Section 8 tenants. They worry that these tenants will destroy their property and keep other, quality tenants from wanting to rent from them. In addition, many landlords have heard horror stories about constant Section 8 inspections. While there can be negatives when dealing with Section 8, which is also referred to as the Housing Choice Voucher Program, there are many advantages as well.

In addition, many landlords have heard horror stories about constant Section 8 inspections. While there can be negatives when dealing with Section 8, which is also referred to as the Housing Choice Voucher Program, there are MANY ADVANTAGES as well.

4 Main Advantages of Section 8 Tenants:

1. Consistent Rent Payment by the Government
2. Targeted Marketing
3. Consistent Tenant Base
4. Pre-Screened Tenants
