Section 8 in Broward County: Built for Appreciation, Not Yield
Broward County grades F for Section 8, an appreciation-only verdict rather than a cash-flow market. The median 3-bedroom voucher pays about $3,160/mo, the highest in our coverage, but that implies a ~$316,000 entry at the 1% rule, and South Florida prices and insurance usually push cash-on-cash below the line.
Expect low cash-flow scores here once Florida insurance near 2% is applied. Broward is an appreciation play, and CloseHound won't pretend the yield is there. If appreciation fits your strategy, screen Broward free on CloseHound; if you need cash flow, the Midwest and South markets grade far better.
