re: getting investment property qualified for sec. 8?

I'm not a scumbag landlord. I go above and beyond for my tenants.
I have not gone sec. 8 even though the neighborhood the houses are in is predominately already sec 8. It's getting to the point though of selling the houses or head down the path of being a "merchant of crime" as you like to say. Maybe I should have just sold them to a family with a adjustable rate mortgage, that seems to be working out so well for folks these days.
