Frequently Asked Questions

How to create an account and list properties (opens in Youtube)

How do I list my properties / get a Password?
- Three easy steps:
  1) Fill out a registration form online (easiest) or call 1-877-428-8844 to register by phone/fax
  2) Get your username and password
  3) Log on and list your properties

Can I only list Section 8 properties?
- You can list any property within cutoff limits for your region. Some regions have no cutoff.

What's the rental cutoff limit for the housing I want to list?
- It depends. Some regions have no cutoff limit. Other regions may let you list up to a certain percentage of the HUD FMR for your area.
  
  After you choose a city to list in, you will find a screen with a chart that tells you what the cutoff based on the number of bedrooms in your unit. Or, as always, you can call 1-877-428-8844 for assistance.
