This was the experience of two of my sisters who thought they could help and get checks from the government.

Both single moms with kids moved their baby daddies in.

1 gave a room to her pitt bull who destroyed it!

Both fell behind on the very cheap (less than $100 monthly) out of pocket rent and just decided not to pay. My sisters said they just gave up asking for it and took the check.

Eviction was difficult and the properties were in ruin from neglect and other activities.

I love how people try to tell you what to do with your properties when they haven't put a dime into yours. If the government wants to have properties for people to live so cheaply or free, they should build them like they build jails. FREQUENTLY.

My sisters both bought homes and rented them to section 8 renters. I left out that part.
