What Is Section 8 Housing and How Does It Work in Horn Lake?

Fill Out Our Investor Form Here!

The Section 8 Housing Choice Voucher Program is a federal initiative administered locally through housing authorities. It assists low-income families, seniors, and individuals with disabilities in finding safe, affordable housing in the private rental market.

In Horn Lake and the surrounding areas, Section 8 tenants pay a portion of the rent based on their income, and the local housing authority pays the rest directly to the landlord.

Benefits for property owners include:

  • Steady monthly income
  • Reliable rent payments from the housing authority
  • Access to a large pool of voucher-holding tenants
  • Lower vacancy rates and potentially longer tenancies

That said, managing a Section 8 property requires attention to detail and thorough knowledge of compliance standards—something we handle every day.

Our Horn Lake Section 8 Property Management Services

We offer full-service management specifically tailored for Section 8 rentals, including:

Section 8 Tenant Placement and Screening

We assist in filling your rental unit with qualified Section 8 tenants by:

  • Coordinating with local housing authorities
  • Verifying voucher eligibility
  • Conducting thorough tenant screening (within legal guidelines)
  • Ensuring proper lease execution in compliance with HUD requirements

Compliance and Documentation Support

Our team handles all the paperwork and timelines required to remain in good standing with the housing authority, including:

  • Housing Assistance Payment (HAP) contracts
  • Initial and annual unit certifications
  • Rent reasonableness documentation
  • Lease agreement coordination
  • Timely re-certifications

We ensure your investment remains compliant and avoids costly delays or denials.

HQS Inspection Preparation and Follow-Up

All Section 8 properties must pass Housing Quality Standards (HQS) inspections. We:

  • Perform pre-inspection assessments
  • Coordinate necessary repairs
  • Schedule inspections with the housing authority
  • Handle re-inspections if violations are found

Our proactive approach helps reduce failed inspections and ensures continued rental payments.

Maintenance and Repairs

Prompt and professional maintenance is key to tenant satisfaction and compliance. We provide:

  • 24/7 emergency repair response
  • Preventative maintenance plans
  • Qualified vendor management
  • Timely issue resolution to avoid housing violations

We treat your property like it’s our own—keeping it clean, safe, and rentable.

Rent Collection and Financial Reporting

We collect both the tenant’s portion and the housing authority’s portion of rent. Our services include:

  • Online payment portals
  • Clear monthly owner statements
  • Year-end financial summaries for taxes
  • Fast follow-up on late or missing tenant payments

Lease Enforcement and Tenant Communication

We act as the primary point of contact for all tenant-related issues, handling:

  • Routine communication
  • Lease compliance monitoring
  • Tenant disputes or complaints
  • Eviction coordination (if necessary and compliant with HUD guidelines)

Our experienced staff ensures clear, professional communication that protects your property and your peace of mind.

Frequently Asked Questions –
Section 8 Property Management in Horn Lake
How do I get my Horn Lake property approved for Section 8?

We handle the entire process—from contacting the housing authority to preparing for inspections and submitting necessary forms. Once approved, your property will be eligible to rent to voucher holders.

What happens if a tenant damages the property?

Just like market-rate tenants, Section 8 tenants are responsible for damages beyond normal wear and tear. We collect security deposits, perform inspections, and follow legal procedures to recover costs if needed.

Can I choose my own tenants if I accept Section 8?

Yes. You retain the right to screen applicants using the same fair housing-compliant criteria you use for any other renter.

How often will my property be inspected?

At a minimum, properties are inspected annually by the housing authority, but additional inspections may be scheduled for quality checks or reported issues. We’ll help you prepare for each one.

Do you only manage Section 8 rentals?

No. We manage a variety of properties—both Section 8 and market-rate. However, we bring deep experience and proven systems specifically for owners participating in the Housing Choice Voucher Program.

Client Testimonials

“This company deserves 5 star”

Advantage Property Management is the best property company ever! This company deserves 5 stars , I truly appreciate and absolutely love all the hard work all of you do for your renters thanks so much for everything.

“We instantly saw improvement in the properties…”

We had given 2 of our properties to another local manager who severely neglected the buildings and put us in a tough position. Without missing a beat, Advantage jumped in on short notice and took over management right away. We instantly saw improvement in the properties and had clarity into the problems. The level of attention, care, communication, and dedication Advantage provides to both owners and tenants is top notch. They have a deep understanding of the market and the importance of happy tenants. The team works together towards a common goal and truly “gets it” on what it takes to successfully care for someone’s home and investment.

“communicative and transparent…”

Advantage has consistently provided great PM services. They are communicative and transparent, which is very valuable and difficult to find. Recently, we had a make-ready done on a property and I was very pleased with the results. Shae managed the repairs and provided me with valuable updates along the way. I can’t stress enough how important it is to be involved in the decision making process and she had some great suggestions to make the home shine. Her dedication to the job seems to be part of the company culture. Highly recommend this team!

“APM is a partner to me every step of the way.”

I have been an Advantage Property Management customer and landlord for years. But it feels wrong to refer to myself as a customer. APM is a partner to me every step of the way. The whole APM team is amazing, and I couldn’t own property in Memphis without their help and guidance. They treat people well, including importantly the tenants. They have high standards for the properties they manage and are delightful to work with.
