Question 1

What is Section 8 housing in Florida?

Accepted Answer

Section 8 is the Housing Choice Voucher (HCV) program run by HUD. Tenants pay 30% of income; the government pays the rest directly to landlords. In Florida, HUD Fair Market Rents are often 10-40% above market rates in many counties.

Question 2

How do I find Section 8 investment properties in Florida?

Accepted Answer

SpillDeals applies HUD FY2026 Fair Market Rents to every active Florida listing and shows you the projected cashflow under Section 8. Properties that cashflow negative at market rent may cashflow positive with a Section 8 tenant.

Question 3

What Florida markets have the best Section 8 rents?

Accepted Answer

Miami-Dade, Broward, and Palm Beach counties have HUD FMRs that exceed market rents for 3-4 bedroom units. Homestead (33030, 33033) and Opa-locka (33054) are particularly strong Section 8 markets for investors.
