Hey everyone. just looking for some help. i live in Il but moving out to the Onslow/Camp Lejeune area soon. but i don't know the area and can't seem to find a property that takes section 8.I have 3 little girls so i can't just go out there and "stay with a freind" until i can find a place. if any of you know of houses,apts or realtors that take it i would appreciate it. i am looking for a 3 bedroom. anything after that is fine. i already have a voucher here, so i just have to transfer it. just can not find a place. PLEASE help. thanks mary
If you already have your voucher, you probably have already been working with the section 8 people, but now just need to find a place.
Try calling local real estate agencies to see whether they will accept a section 8 voucher. Or you could find a realtor who will do that for you and help you find a place.
well for a couple reasons. mainly because i have family and friends out there and it is nice there. it is a ton cheaper then Chicago, and i need a fresh start.
We looked into apartments in Chicago back before DH enlisted. INSANE!! 1 bedroom apartments for $1500 a month are a big change when the average rent for a 3 bedroom house in your hometown is $400!! I settled for a community college near home. DH's uncle was dating a HS teacher from CHicago at one time and she was 34 and lived with 2 roommates so she could afford her condo.
I used to have a Section 8 tenant. It's up to the property owner whether they want to accept it. There's a LOT of empty rentals on the market right now so you'll probably be able to find someone willing.
dabl, the comments from Rosie Posie are gone now, but she made some nasty racist comments. I flagged her, so now she is iced and her comments are gone. One is still quoted about 6 comments up.
And obviously Rosie is a regular or a regular lurker because how else would she know I was a niggger lover because my ugly monkey baby looks Puerto Rican to untrained eyes lol
@bUttarica, I saw all of the original comments. When I read your comment, she wasn't in the ice box yet and you aren't listed as a mod so I was confused. Lol
