Use their vouchers.

I good way I have found to generate leads is to call the Section 8 reps' to let them know that you have a unit that you're looking to fill and see if they have any clients who have a voucher that match your property. 

Give them a call and someone can guide you as well. http://www.lexha.org/housing-choice-voucherSome step by step guidelines below - http://www.lexha.org/housing-choice-voucher/section-8---landlordsMy personal tips - There is a lag time between when you get a section 8 renter into your rental and when you will receive the first HAP payment - 1 to 2 months.

I am very, very green on this- landlords have more leverage with tenants because there are no more vouchers being issued.

Sending post cards, volunteering, free dinner vouchers, Gift card sign ups, offers for analysis for tax reasons are all solid ways to grab people interested in your product.

Once an individual qualifies for housing assistance, they have to find their own rental that will accept the voucher.

If section 8 becomes aware that she was paying above the amount she was approved for, she might loose her voucher.  

When things go south, your top priority is getting possession back so you can move on and get back to cash flowing.Having a section 8 voucher may make it less likely that things will go south, but housing authorities won't help you get her out.  

All this to obtain assisted living (RENT) expenses, they pay what they can and rest is subsidized at a higher rate then local rent levels. 2.Buy the property out of the USDA program and it will be converted to Section 8 or Voucher program which the current tenants will qualify for but at a reduced rent and would be a whole lot simpler to manage.Thoughts, question, opinions, advice a shoe of the side of my head, at this point anything will do.Thanks for your timeMike

Fresno, less desirable than coastal Santa Cruz), get the voucher there within 2 weeks, keep the voucher in Fresno for 6 months, then get the voucher transferred to Santa Cruz.
