But Trump is racists and hates poor people. I know this is true because the msm tells me so.
Sounds like Obama tactics, if accurate.
One reason why landlords dislike section 8 housing is that too many tenants trash the property, have a chip on their shoulder, and make trouble for other tenants.
Ben Carson needs to fire the socialists in HUD immediately.
Escort them handcuffed off of the premises.
I did not think President Trump’s administration was going to pull that crap, but maybe it is different than Obama’s plan.
f that s...obviously never owned any rental property. biggest problems now is the biggest competitor in renting and buying up desirable rental property is the gov’t and HUD itself...insider info is also always fed to minorities anytime there is a bidding process that is touched off when attempting to purchase additional rental property. Really odd how many time in a final bid goes to highest bidder by a deadline hour...the minority can always out bid you by a couple of hundred dollars...poor poor Trump. The bleeding heart side keeps slipping out...
The value of property is determined by the class of the people living in it. If you rent to “the poor”, the value of you property is zeroed out. This is known. Nothing worse than Dunning Kruger gas lighters.
Controlling housing is the ultimate government power grab.
Looks like more Obama holdovers in HHS trying to do things under the radar.
Firing time.
They used to call this block-busting. Now the government does it.
I have become quite the expert on how to make sure my rental properties FAIL the mandatory Section 8 eligibility criteria.
All simple stuff, easily reversible.
Just go get their checklist and do things like take the stove/oven out (for a bit), remove electrical covers, etc.
Needs to be enough to make sure a blind inspector won’t accidentally pass it.

Smith, Wesson and myself say no!
Higher Opportunity Neighborhood ? I thought everything was supposed to be equal opportunity.
I remember when HUD shut down the projects in Dallas and moved the residents to apartments in fairly high rent districts. Those folks immediately started complaining abut not having transportation to go shopping. The head of the Dallas organization responsible for that move got on TV and told them, don’t worry we will provide you with that. I also remember them interviewing a man the projects who said “I’ve lived in these projects 53 years and this is the worst I’ve ever seen it.” I think I see what the problem is here.
I will assume for the moment that President Trump is tied up with the frauds in the Mueller witch hunt and is not aware of this.
His administration really should put the kabosh on it asap.
This is largely the reason I never got into the landlord business - too many horror stories of damaged property, unpaid bills, and unpaid rent. Unless you own buildings like The Donald does (or used to) it’s just not worth it.
Buy REITs and collect the dividends. Let someone else deal with the 3:00am plumbing problems.
Disappointed if Trump’s presidency started this....or allowed it to continue.
Ah.. the New Yorker comes out.
Throughout the Southern New England wealthy areas, they make sure there are poor neighborhoods mixed in. They do this to make their busing and walks more convenient. Housekeepers, construction workers, all the necessities for the rich.
