Q:
A: While Austin does have public transportation and is one of the more bike-friendly communities in the country. Much of the town would still be difficult with no car.
The only place I would be comfortable without a car is downtown.

It can be very expensive but is as walkable as you can hope for.
If you are willing to live near the UT campus you can do pretty well without a car as well.
The only other option I might recommend is some of the Hyde Park area. It is north of the campus, and some areas are more walkable than others.

Q:
A: As a landlord, Section 8 is definitely good news-bad news. The good news is that the government pays part or all of the rent according to their rent schedule, and it can run a bit more than what you have been getting.
The bad news: they pay in arrears, so January rent will arrive in Feb. You will have to meet HUD regulations such as grab bars in the shower/tub for elderly-handicapped tenants.
The worst news: If you get a disabled tenant, remember they are going to have a hard time keeping the place up. If you do not get an elderly/disabled tenant, many Sec 8 tenants do not keep the place up.
For more info, check the HUD website. Find other Sec 8 landlords and ask for their tips on the situation in your community & neighborhood. And if you take Sec 8, do get complete applications, written references from prior landlords, etc, and screen carefully. Some are wonderful people who are in temporary jam and working hard to get out of it. Some are scum. (answered by ibu guru on December 30, 2008)
