Prioritizing the stability of your foster family's housing while also managing your own financial situation is key.

Being 1099 and not having guaranteed income is challenging as is, I'm essentially dipping deep into my safety net to fund this project but the last couple of years have been great and I'm eager to get started.

I'd be worried about pre-construction projects for your own safety.   

---Tenants are also allowed to break their S8 lease if their home is broken into and they fear for their safety.

Instead, it appears to prioritize rehab teams that are more interested in low-quality flips rather than meeting investor expectations.In summary, it's a suitable option if you're fine with fixing issues later, which becomes inevitable when projects are not given the proper attention, and teams resist feedback – a situation I'm currently facing.

If this is done incorrectly by a contractor without the relevant experience, licensing and insurance; it could land you in some hot water with regard to safety of your tenants, being financially liable for damage etc. 

If it is a safety concern, it should get fixed.

The house I own , I am looking to move out of and rent out to long term tenants.I have searched this board and google and I have gotten answers all across the board...When I go to rent out this place, Do I need a safety fence (or gate) around my pool area?

So the kids are leaning on the screens, which is a HUGE SAFETY HAZARD!

This sounds like a safety issue and I'd do it right away.
