I know someone who exclusively deals with section 8 rentals. He is pretty happy with the arraignment and tells me that at least the government portion of the rent is a certainty.

no truer words...
add to that, the long lease simply allows the tenant to do more damage to the house as they slowly decide to leave....lose, lose for the owner!!
