What do I need in my appartments to get Fair Market Rents for Section 8.

I have a new four family house that I'm currently rehabbing. I have a general idea of what I plan on putting in. But I thought it would be a good idea to establish a baseline for FMR criteria for apartments in my area needed for section 8 Housing.

Example, do I need stainless steel appliances? How about a dish washer? What about hardwood floors, and granite countertops. Obviously these are nice to haves. But would I still be able to get FMR with just laminant if the property was clean?

Thanks as always!
