That isn't how Section 8 works. Landlords don't get to choose their tenants and tenants have to compete with other section 8 recipients for properties.
Believe me they do. Saw city cops do this in Rochester NY
They buy a house “for themselves” and then immediately rent it out to their baby mama.
I worked for Section 8, did the FMR calculations and also owned rental property of my own. (in which I was not allowed to rent to a S8 participant as a lowly clerk—conflict of interest) have a big story about fighting the government on that one, but I digress.
