I'm pretty sure there are plenty of uber wealthy slum landlords that would object to that. You might want to get rid of any REITs you might have, their NAV will fall off a cliff if mittens gets his way.
Not to mention that the latest trend is for private equity is to by bundles of bank foreclosed homes as REOs and then renovate them and turn them into rental properties.
Those are some of Willard's best friends and biggest campaign backers. He'd never do it.
It doesn't really matter much to me what some politician says, I will NEVER - under ANY circumstances - rent to a Section 8 tenant. It's a 100% guarantee that they're going to destroy the house.
I'll sell all my properties before I'll EVER do that.
I live next door to a house the rents to Section 8 tenants - and you are exactly right. We have had 3 different families rent there since we have been in our house. The back yard is a wreck. The kids are bad. The households are run by women who take care of her kids, and her kids' kids. They usually have dogs that roam the cul-de-sac.
The current family had a cousin (7 yr. old) killed in the garage because he stood in a puddle of water and touched metal.

If push comes to shove, and we are stuck with programs like this----I think these folks should rent next to the politicians who support this. Food for thought.
Section 8 is a scam to shift the riff raff (I used to be one of 'em, btw---Elyton PJs represent!!!) to surrounding areas, while taking former PJ property and turning into high-end condos.
This is my opinion. If you guys haven't noticed, they are always shifting poor people around. What is going on now? Inner cities are being redeveloped, what happens to the poor, they get jettisoned to the "suburbs." Its a cycle, in about 30 more years the reverse is going to happen. It goes white flight, black middle class flight, poor people.
I hope Mitt Romney is elected and abolishes HUD. Section 8 is an awful program and needs to be dismantled. Nice areas are turning into slums because of Section 8 residents not to mention crime and school quality deteriorates.
Maybe they don't have an in but they are disproportionate voucher users. Anytime a waiting list opens up the lines are overwhelmingly Black even in cities where Blacks make up a fraction of the population. Not for nothing it is black section 8 holders who are spreading crime and their nonsense to formerly nice hoods. Then cry racism when they are called on it. The problem is a lot of the people calling them out are also black.
LOL man this is so true and unfortunate.
It is a cold reality.
