This criteria is for 1-4 and 5-8 unit programs.

Of course sometimes Citizens (or NCJUA) is the best option, but I personally want to treat those programs as they were designed, as the insurer of last resort. 

Section 8 and other voucher programs have an inspection the property has to pass before the tenant can move in.

There are lots of real estate training programs out there.

Im thinking of doing it.uote from @Rissa Collins: Not sure what anyone's problem is with John Jackson's program, but I have had it for a couple years and use it all the time.

Same for 2-years of job/income stability.Tenant Default: 10-20% probability of eviction or early lease termination.Section 8: Class C rents usually meet program requirements, proper screening still recommended.Vacancies: 10-20%, depending on market conditions and tenant screening.Cashflow vs Appreciation: Should cashflow immediately, at the lower end of relative rent & value appreciation.Class D Properties:Tenant Pool: Majority of FICO scores under 560, little to no good tradelines, lots of collections & chargeoffs, but should have no convictions/evictions in last 12 months.

We use AffordableHousing.com selectively, and I’d frame it less as a replacement for Zillow/Redfin and more as a compliance and targeting tool.What it does well• It is one of the first places Section 8 and voucher holders are trained to check• Many PHAs directly reference or scrape from it• It reduces back-and-forth with housing authorities when listings are already visible thereIf you manage or market voucher-friendly inventory, it helps keep your pipeline full with applicants who are already program-aware.Where it falls short• Lead quality is very different than Zillow type traffic• Expect higher volume, lower readiness, and more incomplete applications• The manual entry and lack of clean PM software integrations is the biggest pain point• For conventional rentals, ROI is usually weakHow we’ve made it workable• Only post units that accept vouchers• Use templates and bulk workflows internally so staff isn’t recreating listings from scratch• Treat it as a filtering mechanism, not a conversion engine• Push serious applicants back into your PM software immediatelyBottom lineIf 60 percent of your leads are already coming from Zillow/Redfin and converting cleanly, I wouldn’t expect AffordableHousing.com to outperform that.But if you manage a meaningful amount of affordable or voucher inventory in a diverse market like Tucson, it can be worth it only if you systemize the data entry and set expectations internally around lead quality.Used intentionally, it fills a specific lane.

We haven't used either program but I believe at least one builds out the site and SEO. 

., can be vetted and worked with like a computer program.You can find companies like this, but if you want to treat them like a computer program - they will treat you the same way!

Local lenders may also have various programs going as well that may be competitive.
