Um not quite. I used to do a lot of sub work for a guy who did nothing but buy and rehab houses then rented out to sect 8 exclusively. His brother thought he was crazy but he actually had a really good rational for doing so and was successful at it and the rent checks were never late
He fixed 'em up into nice little units and this did two things 1) He(well me) didn't have to keep coming back for BS little repairs, that drove him crazy and 2) he could rent for more than the avg sect 8 house but mainly to avoid constant upkeep.
Sect 8 houses aren't "free", they're subsidized. The tenants have to pay a nominal fee to stay there and they can't trash the house either. If you get kicked out of a sect 8 house, you're SOL, no more sect 8 for you, so they have to keep it up.
As a whole, all the tenants were lazy and living almost entirely living of the govt.There were many times I'd show up to fix or repair something at nine or ten in the morning and there'd be a guy playing nintendo on his big screen TV with all his homeys, drinking 40's. It was a common occurrence. To get sect 8 took a long time and they'd sign their daughters up when they hit 16 and they'd be mooved out into their own sect 8 home by the time they hit 20 and so on and so forth. It's common for it to perpetuate down through the generations.
