Pro: Rent on time, at least the govt portion.
Con: Hard to find responsible tenants. Generally they are VERY hard on the property. Lots of kids, their bad guests (often live-in), they can always fight you if you need to evict them, they have free legal. They will fight tooth and nail to avoid eviction, including making up lies.

section 236 pertains primarily to the financing of the property, however it encompasses mixed income persons i.e people who are on section 8 and people who pay market rent.

Good question: a landlord has the right to use the same tenant selection criteria as he would for anyone who is not on section 8.

You can apply for Section 8 housing. Also, there are usually agencies in the community that will help you get started in renting a home. With those, you also get expectations and responsibilities to make it in the long run.
