NRHA and Rent Ready Norfolk Kick Off 2022 Landlord Learning Series
NRHA and Rent Ready Norfolk are teaming up to bring important information and resources to landlords and property managers. Join us every fourth Tuesday of the month through July at 11 a.m., as we host free hour-and-a-half webinars covering topics every landlord should know.
“With a third of American households renting, being a landlord can be lucrative and a way to make passive income collecting rent,” said Iyana Pointer, the liaison for the NRHA Housing Choice Voucher Program. “But it has its challenges and initially can be stressful and require a lot of work if you don’t have help.”
Pointer recommends all those leasing in the City of Norfolk consider leasing through the Housing Choice Voucher program. This program is a subsidized program that helps landlords fill their rental properties with reliable tenants and guaranteed steady rental income while aiding low-income individuals, families, individuals with disabilities and seniors in finding decent, affordable housing in the private market. As of the end of last year for the HCV program alone, 257 voucher holders were searching for housing in the City of Norfolk.
But the Landlord Learning Series is not open just to HCV landlords. The virtual series is for current and prospective landlords and property managers. Each month, local experts will present on common problems landlords face and many other topics of interest. See below for full series schedule.
