First, you have to meet government standards (doorway requirements, electrical, etc). Then you have to wait on the government to send their portion. Politicians chanting for shutdowns? They really made people not want to depend on the government to make timely payments. And lastly, most of the renters didn't cover their portion (it's income based so it can be anywhere from a small percent to all of it).
I won't be a landlord again and if I did, no way would it be for low income housing.
I won't either and would never allow pets, late payments nor any changes to the property. That doesn't even mention that lower income folks tend to not take care of the place they live. That doesn't mean they never do, but the tendency is that they won't. I also wouldn't rent to anyone running a daycare out of their place..
