I have a true story from Section 8 land of Boston. Deadbeat woman with deadbeat kids and grandchildren all living on section 8 of $1500 a month. Police constantly called to the house because her son is a drug dealer. Police tell landlord to evict the deadbeat women and her awful children. Deadbeat goes to court and declares that yes her son is a drug dealer and she is gaining custody of her grandchildren. Housing authority rewards her with $2000 a month housing voucher and tells her to find a bigger place. Drug dealing son is still living with her in new more spacious place.
Here in Louisville, I have several friends who are making BIG MONEY buying SUPER CHEAP homes in the West End, and renting them to Section 8 tenants..
One guy bought a 75 yr old, 6 bedroom home for $30k. He’s renting it to an older woman for $1500 a month. He gets paid, BY THE GOVERNMENT, on time every month. He couldn’t care less if they trash the place.
But, they don’t... cause, the Lady is also renting out her rooms, for cash...
She’s making big money, My friend is making big money.... EVERYBODY is WINNING! Except.. me. :-(
