Section 8

[sd_matt]

I’m trying to help out a friend of mine with income assistance/housing/scholarship.

Does anyone here have experience with Section 8?

Example; If I bought a duplex and wanted to rent out the other to her would she have to wait or would I be able to say “I want to rent to her”?

Years ago when I looked into this, you could definitely do that. You have to get approved by Section 8 first. They come to your house and see if everything is in order: electric, phone jacks, safety stuff. However, Section 8 only pays a portion of the rent. For instance, if Section 8 states they will pay $1400 for a 3 bedroom unit, then that is all they will pay. If your unit could rent for $1800, then you either take the hit or sign lease with the tenant for the difference.

Could I charge my wife to live in our house 1400 dollars of sweet section 8 money? That sounds like a great scam.

Is this friend your partner, that is the real question.

Hmmm….maybe. Your wife would have to qualify for Section 8. Your income would likely make her ineligible.

The waiting period is too long for most people to bear; 5 to 10 years, depending on funding.
