Go onto GoSection8.com in your area and advertise the unit for rent.....they will call you very quickly.......screen the tenants carefully...you want to advertise a little above market rate because Section8 may or may not give you market rate but it's best to start a little high and have them tell you that they will pay you a little lower amount than to start low and have them go even lower on you.....I have section 8 rentals in Ohio and California.
