Great advice @DrJoeAsamoah, He sounds like a good landlord that cares a lot about his tenants and his property investment. He doesn’t brag, and go on and on about how many doors he has. He shares so much good information. Thank you. I’m working on my first Section 8 tenants.
good morning dr. new to this section 8 business, what does it mean when a tenant tell you I have been approved for a voucher of 2900 and my propriety is rented for 2650? does this mean they don't have to pay anything out of packet?
Hi Dr. Joe, I wanted to ask about your experience with Section 8 housing during COVID. Did you have any difficulties, in particular with rent payments or were you getting paid by the housing authorities throughout the pandemic?
I had no problems receiving my payments from the housing authorities. That's the beauty of section 8, the income stream is guaranteed and very reliable.
Hello and thank you for sharing your wisdom and experience with section 8 program in the DC market. Can you tell me how to get a smallish basement with a bathroom qualified as a bedroom for section 8? How tall do ceilings have to be. How large and long do windows have to be? Is there an inspection checklist? Thanks again for all you do to promote quality affordable housing for families in the city 😊
First, it must meet local building code for your city/state. For section 8 typically ceiling height must be at least 6ft 10inches. Bedroom must be minimum of 70sqft. Also there must be at least 2 forms of egress ie, a door and windows. I suggest you contract your local housing authority to understand exactly what they look for when they conduct inspections.
@@dr.joeasamoah7503 Thanks very much Dr Joe. I’m in DC. Not sure I’ve seen a checklist of requirements. Thanks for the building code information. You’re the best!!
Hi Dr. Joe, here's an interesting question: If you have an S8 tenant currently renting from you, but they'd like to move to a different property you own (perhaps it has a bit more space, or it's pet friendly compared to their current home... whatever reason), would there be any issues with the tenant moving to the new property? I have a tenant in this current situation who is interested in moving to a different property of mine because of the particular location. I'm happy to let them move to it, but not sure how that would play out with the housing authority -- or if they'd even allow it. Would love to hear if you've ever ran into a situation like this!
Hi, Yes it is possible to move a tenant from one of your properties to another property that you own. Assuming you are okay with your tenant moving into the new unit, then first must start the process with the housing authority to transfer the voucher to the new property. This involves completing the section 8 paper work and inspections. once this is complete, then the HAP Contract will then be transferred from the old unit to the new unit.

A person that signs a lease for 2 people and then moves 9 children into the property, is telling you something. When people show us who they are, we should believe them.
The section 8 program is designed to provide low income families with safe and decent housing. Correctly implemented is a win-win for all parties, i.e landlords, voucher holders and society.
This was so good - you are a great teacher and have a mentor’s spirit 🙌

Hello Dr. JOE,
Are you offering any courses to learn Section 8 housing?

Would you suggest putting the house you’re renting out through section 8 in an LLC or trust ?

I suggest you contact current and previous landlords.

This program is only good for the landlords. The restrictions are impossible for a tenant to get any place to live that’s decent.
Not true.

That is not true; it works for both if you find a decent tenant
