How much of this apartment rent is generously subsidized by Section 8?
Section 8 is actually hard for renters to get, and once they get on they rarely voluntarily get off. From a landlord perspective, it is ungodly expensive to get on and stay on, so only professionally managed units are Section 8. The training and number of inspections that Section 8 landlords get is incredible. I managed some Section 8 housing for a while, and while the rents are more than what I thought they were worth, I can guarantee that you would not want to live in the units for the most part.
