    You can take a Section 8 tenant to court and get a judgment for damages, just like any other tenant. Thant judgment will also revoke their voucher and most apartments will not rent to someone who owes rent to a previous landlord. You need to screen Section 8 tenants just like you would anyone else.

    This is very insightful. I worked as an Eviction Prevention case manager for 5 years and understand how these subsidies and incentives work (Section 8 does not offer as much incentives at the NYC based subsidies). It's great to hear from an investor's point if view. I would have thought it was a bad idea but the point system that's in place will better to vet qualified from unqualified tenants seems to be very useful. Thank you!

    Great video...relevant to US properties....we are based in UK...our govt has just changed the rules so the max deposit is 5 weeks rent....so your point system for 2 to 2.25 for Double Deposit will not work here....not sure if you guys will be facing the same problems with govt changing rules on rental properties soon.
    We also have problems where if you own rental properties as an individual - you cant take off the mortgage interest payments off as a cost - only 20% of the cost of finance interest/mortgage is allowed - maybe property investors in the US need to take note - this shit might be coming over to you guys soon - who knows ?

    Regarding your section 8 point system...on your 2.0 - 2.5 rating you ask for double deposit... Is that based on your total rent (let's say $1000) or is it based on their rent portion (in your example $200). So they would have to come up with a $400 deposit?

    The way you have the point system set up they would not be eligible if evicted or had previous LL trouble. It's mathematically impossible to recover. Is this for a reason? Is this to automatically disqualify them? and say its based on points? to protect us for encountering the same thing? if so, that is a good tool.

    This is great advice, I'm a Real Estate Broker and I started my own credit repair company & still doing property management. I used to go to former landlord's house and speak to neighbors. My clients pay for extra and we get consent from the prospective tenant. Now that my business has grown I had to stop. I have switched to High end because it was too much business to scale in NYC. There are really great Section 8 tenants and cash paying tenants. Make sure you have vetted each individual person carefully. I've had good and bad with both. Do you offer mentorships? I'm looking to make large purchases in NYC and PA. I will be buying your book ASAP.
