OfflineIve learned from many wholesalers to obtain a section 8 landlord list. The reason this is such a goldmine is it can build a huge buyers list quickly and possibly even find motivated landlords.
Apparently its public information. I went to the raleigh housing authority ( http://www.rhaonline.com/contact.htm) and the secretary (who was in a bad mood) told me its not public info and she can't help. Whats up with that?

She won't give you any info because she doesn't feel like doing her job. Ask for someone higher up, then ask them for what you are looking for.
Just tell her this is public information, if you can't give it to me, put me in touch with your manager/boss/whatever. Maybe just ask only for the person who runs the place.

Whether or not bad mood or not, she is not obligated to provide you with that info.
If its public info her reply can be then to get it yourself. Technically if its not in her job description to provide it to the general public, she's not wrong.
Just find it yourself and move on. Thats your best bet.
I wish I got her name so I can avoid her next time I call. I wonder if its only public information in certain counties and not public in others. I will come back with an update!

Great! How come she didn't tell him that or put him in touch with someone who can? Maybe she isn't obligated to do that either? I have tried to get info from public offices before, and they literally can't comprehend what I am saying, they just say "um, uhh, abc office handles that or (most frustrating of all) we don't keep info like that on record", when I know it is. No one ever told me which office to go get it myself and I have asked!
.
I guess it's time to go kick down some doors, lol

but if she/he is not obligated to do something that is not part of their job description, they don't have to whether you or I want them to.
Just focus on getting things done on your own instead of taking it personal and wondering why.
Hope it helps.
Do some digging around online and you should be able to find the list. I found it online for my city last year. It took awhile and I do not recall exactly where I finally found it but just play detective and you will find it.
This is public info all over the country not just in certain areas.

Kareng is right on this one.
I just googled "section 8 landlord list (my city)" and quickly found the active list, owner telephone and contact information.
Hope that helps!

but why not ask a section 8 tenant (if you know of any) if they could get one for you?
I know a few myself, that's how I got mine.
