I called in to make an appointment to show a home and they asked for my showing code. Would that be my license #?

Your showing code is a 4 digit numbers that you set up with the showing company. If it is your first time setting up an appointment with the company they will ask for your contact information including your real estate license number, company office ID number and they will ask for you to set up a showing code for next time you call in all you have to give them is the showing code.

I have worked fairly extensively with tenants with multiple obstacles in application process, but am considering working with Section 8 clients. I know what the program is as far as the vouchers go, but wanted to see what I am going to run into that may not be on the HUD website. Are application rules typically as strict, credit, background etc. Are there restrictions on deposit amounts as well. Are there extended wait times for move in etc. Anything I should be aware of and prepared for? Any insights greatly appreciated.

All comment below are true and very helpful. In my experience with section 8 tenants, it is important to remind them that they must follow the rules of the home / apartment complex. Occupancy is a concern of mine since in the past I have had additional people appear in the apartment or home and lease only allows for \"x\" number of people in the home. On a positive note, Section 8 tenants are great long term tenants and if you are a good landlord they will take care of your property.

I recently had a financial speed bump when the hospital I worked for had cutbacks and I was laid off without notice. I relocated to Austin to be closer to family. I had some late payments and carried a balance on my credit cards. This caused my credit score to plummet. I have excellent rental history (8-10 years of references) no broken leases, no issues with property damage or anything at all like that even. I just started a new job, I\nI\'m a Registered Nurse and I make about 90k per year. Is anyone aware of a management company who will rent to someone with just a low credit score ?

I am a real estate broker that manage properties. Depending on the application and the tenant employment and rental history I have accepted and rented to people with low credit scores.
