As I understand it, Section 8 housing is free
The question I have, how is Section 8 housing determined. I think Section 8 is only applicable with renting and not with purchasing a home, but I am not 100% sure about that.
Secondly, can Section 8 charge a higher rent because of the subsidy? If I was in the business of buying homes and renting for a profit I would probably seek Section 8 applicants. Charge 20-30% more for the rent and let the government pay for it.

Here they tend to be new construction and the rents are significantly higher.
