Section 8 does not work with my rental. It's not in the ghettos of South Chicago.

In my experience, most of it in TX, the housing was designated as Section 8, a.k.a. 'the Projects'.
Reading the Wiki, I had no idea that the vouchers could be used toward buying a house.
Liberals never met a slippery slope they didn't grease.

That's just it. This was a $300K+ home in the suburbs. Supposedly, the tenants had put in for the home (not sure where or how it was listed), and the owner couldn't deny them.Originally Posted by HoneyBadger
That's what's got me stumped. It's a scary thought that the .gov could just be like, "Hey, you listed your house publicly. You can't deny these disenfranchised folks the opportunity to live well, so they're coming in. Don't mind the broken fixtures or stains everywhere."
Yeah... F that. I was very selective about who I offered applications to. It's my private property and you bet your ass I'm going to do my best to protect it. My rental is a $300k+ home in an uppity neighborhood. Rent is $1900/mo

You must have a lot of equity in that place because our mortgage on a $300k house is more than that. We were looking at renting ours in the $2400-$2600 range.
Think of how stupid the average person is, and realize half of them are stupider than that - George Carlin
Mortgage plus insurance, taxes, etc is just over $1800. We have about $60k in equity. I never intended it to be a rental, but then the unthinkable happened: The military sent me behind enemy lines to CA.

Med is not exhagerating about the condition of his rental at all!
This is a great example of what fucks over renters that actually care about the place they live regardless of who owns it, Cleans up after themselves and their pet, no wonder deposits are so damn crazy! The house is a damn cute setup and they just trashed it inside and out, INSIDE 12 MONTHS! MED has worked his ass off since the beginning of this thread and has done an amazing job cleaning it up, Kudos for the hard work bro!
