You can have crappy tenants anyhow - Section 8 or not. If Anything, Section 8 folks have to be careful not to be kicked off the program, appreciate our landlords…..and are very grateful for our homes. Unless they’re asshats - but any tenant can fit that description. 🤷‍♀️

I am on Section 8 and have lived in this place for 16 years which has always passed inspection. During Covid the inspections were stopped but this last one was from Hell and I have never had an inspection like that one. The most recent one failed due to grounding wire problem. My landlord had an electrician come in last week but was unable to fix the problem. According to him, my landlord will need to wire the whole building and handed in person to me on October 1 a vacate notice but is giving me until Feb. 2022 but I know housing won't and I am 70 living on very little Soc. Sec. retirement and I am freaking out. I am suppose to have the re-inspection on October 15 but it won't pass so why bother. I have already contacted Northwest Justice Project and spoke to an attorney on this matter. I will appeal as often as I can to buy me sometime. This killing me right now.

This was a great video!
Thanks so much for making it.
I have a section right voucher but can not find a owner/agent to rent to me because they don't want to take it. Because no one will take it I live in substandard housing that would be condemned if I let code reinforcement in. There no heat no inside water die to plumbing issues. most windows are plexi glass and all window frames are screwed shut. No cooking. Every toilet has pluming issues and every sink pours water
from under the cabinet, doesn't drain, fixtures legal or are not secured. Cabinets are rotted from water damage. The roofed was tauby inside for years. Blackberries are growing inside. Other windows are broken. doors have huge gaps no dead bolt. Some floors are concrete. Rodents their urine and fevers are everywhere. Mold mold and mold. walls made if half inch plywood textured and painted. A RAMP get in but tk real steps. berries cover the entire window of the room I stay in all the way to the roof and there likely 15 feet deep. It's absolutely terrifying to live here . but if I leave I have to sleep out side in the ground. I'm in Caifornia I have a credit score of about 780 no debt fixes income and 3 vouchers but .ca t find a hole. I am lacking in that I have no recent rental payment history. I have a savings account as well what can I do?
You all seem like such nice folks and what a nice place.
I need a home so badly. gwasher dryer a place to wash and vacuum my vehicle.
I really appreciate your<<u willingnuess to rent to folks on Section 8. For some us us like me I put in my years working but due to injury I'm not able to work any longer. Any sugestions?

I enjoyed this video. You guys are doing the right thing, buying cheap, fixing up, placing a tenant, and then selling. As a long-time investor and landlord, I have learned to shy away from Section 8. Renting to people who are dependant on the government for their basic housing needs is a recipe for disaster. I am from Baltimore, and it's bad enough there, but anyone who would rent Section 8 in Detroit is truly a brave soul.

Pat was spot on! Great job on this vid!

[processengineer]

Hello Monique and Pat, I was wondering how do you guys keep your properties safe and secure when you're not working on them?

[chanel_thedoll]

I love this video very detail! I’m having my inspection Monday & I’m so nervous 😬 took my a little over 5months this year to found a place with my section 8 voucher. Do you know if I can be present during the inspection? My section 8 voucher is through Livonia Housing Commission

[marymorse]

Your comment getting in there before it’s torn up is a wide open comment. You know many Sec 8 tenants are wonderful tenants. In California I was in Property management for 25 yrs. Now I’m in a situation where I’m going through that process myself. I never thought Ide be in this position. I’m in Texas now. I’m 73. Your comment was a little punch in the stomach.

[patsypryor]

it sounds like the poorest people have to jump thru hoops they may not even have enough education to understand. I live in another state and own my home, thank God I am staying put.

[cynthiapiscesgreen]

OK I have a question I moved into a place. I agree to it. I see are in a lease. I’m waiting for the church to except it but I have mildew in my cabinets. I have mildew in my sink. I have mildew in my bathroom cupboard I had holes in my screen. The flies were coming in, and my house smells what is a specialist do I have carpenter ants in my plugs and they don’t work how did this apartment pass?

[dirktanses]

I want to purchase homes in Detroit and section 8 them

[LeeBaysinger-uy]

Why would you want to? I'm trying to sell off estate rentals and I would never keep one, especially subject to those rules. Never, they get trashed.

[nikkinoos]

Do you visit the property more then once a year to check for damages from tenants?

[robertronning]

Ask yourself why do we need magic to get through an inspection especially if the tenant calls for the inspection the inspection fails and then you get yelled at and kicked out listen you see the car you're sitting in you have a place to live do you have people coming in checking up on everything you know if you did maybe you'd be gone too

[nicholethomas]

How much do you charge to come do an inspection counseling appointment

[nashonharris]

I would rent from you and your husband I have children but I tell them do not write on the wall use papers, I keep my apartment clean and I hold high standard for my apartment.

[APOCAHANYTHEHOST]

Wait so just because of 1 write up the house will fail inspection ???? I thought it was 15 points and under to pass

[JennySimon]

You should be telling this to people BEFORE they move in. I wonder how many people finally got their voucher and come inspection they don't pass.... What then?

[erinkay]

Apparently I have done everything correct because I find myself at the end of this exhausting process waiting for HUD (I think it's hud) to inspect the apartment I am told will be mine. It. Is very hot in Houston and do to my health it is becoming imposable for me to tolerate the heat. I have been waiting 25 days for the inspection. I am able to pay for a motel (I am on disability) for the begining of the month. I run out of motel 5/13/22. I am 55 and my health is failing. I am told there is nothing that can be done to hurry this inspection along. I have no idea where to go or what to do to keep myself inside. I am going to wind up in my car please advise me. Also I have no friends or family that can help me. Thank you in advance

How long after a pass inspection can a person actually move in?
