You do have a property management company handling this don’t you? Especially as an out-of-state owner. Get a good property manager and leave it to them.
Problem solved.
Still say no to Section 8
“Get a good property manager and leave it to them.”
Yup. As an out of state landlord myself, I agree with this 100%. Regardless of your decision on section 8.
We have rented one of our properties through section 8 in Nevada. I agree with the other post above that it’s probably not worth it. The good news is that the government pays the rent to you, so the money is guaranteed every month. On the other hand, they have all sorts of requirements to make your property eligible for the program. Between them, and your new entitled tenants, they really act as if they’re doing you a huge favor allowing you to participate in this sweet deal. If you’re in a solid rental market, I wouldn’t do it again.
