Who pays $10 an hour in the Pahoa Hilo area?

Walmart and Target both start their new employees between $11 and $14, locally.

I am a long time landlord in Ca. I have tried section 8 and had a lot of damage. It was not repaired or reimbursed. Then the gov. Rep could not understand why I would not renew my section 8 status.

I can get the same amount of money for my houses if not more than what S8 will pay, so what's the incentive? None.

Buy a cheap 3 bedroom house in Nanawale or Orchidland or Ainoloa and you make out pretty good.

Thanks for reminding me of the "tell your cousins girlfriends sisters best friend to chill it for a while. We're getting too many calls to my boss" law.

It varies some with the strength of the rental market.
When a lot of houses are available on the rental market, the average price is lower. At those times it's easier to get more from Section 8.

There are people who do this, buy a house cheap, rent high, take the depreciation, and if they can handle the generally more complicated lifestyles of Section 8 renters, they can make a relatively decent income.

Is that what the tenant pays or is it what the landlord receives?

What is a section 8 please? Is it renters that are low income and the state or county gives them a break, or?

Thanks for your comments.

Section 8 is when the gov't subsidizes one's housing:

It is the total of the 2. In most cases, the government pays about 70% or so.
