more like the city has written off midtown from the light rail south ....good luck richmond ave with the light rail shenanigans that are coming your way unless something gets done to quit allowing "free city tours" all day long with this service

Please do NOT do section 8. The damages would be unbelievable and there is NO recouping them from the housing authority. Section 8 may have been a viable option at one time, but now people can get away with almost totally destroying the property and they are not held responsible for it. Recouping any damage to your property is impossible and unfortunately it greatly lowers the property value of your home and well as the surrounding area when you have Section 8 mixed in. I've been there, done that, and learned an expensive lesson. As someone who owns rental property in midtown/montrose do yourself a favor and put your good nature to something else trust me.....There are tons of good people who need help with housing in this city and for every one of those good people there are 50 right behind them who take advantage of the housing system and make things like Section 8 get a horrible reputation and those unfortunately are who you will have to deal with....Just educate youself and heed the warnings you read about horror stories....Sure the government will make sure your get the rent checks direct deposited every month, but they turn a blind eye to anything regarding the actual tenants so for the landlord the pain happens at the end. And by pain I mean turnover costs that exceed the net cash flow that you made during the entire term of the Section 8 tenancy...Section 8 is like every other program offered by the government where it's always someone else's issue if you have a problem with a tenant in regards to damage to the property or past due light/water/electric bills of which the section 8 voucher doesn't cover any of these expenses....Basically, while it's admirable good luck and educate yourself before you dive into this! I can only offer you advice based on my experience....You should go visit some of the rentals that allow Sec 8 to get a feel for what kind of tenants you can expect and go from there that's the best real world advice is to see it for yourself what you may be in for!
