.- Good luck getting them to pay their portion for the duration of their lease- Be careful including utilities in the rent as they then won't care about a running toilet resulting in a $500 water bill.- S8 tenants don['t want to pay application fees- S8 tenants cry broke about paying security deposits- S8 tenants in the program for 10+ years claim ignoreance on filling out their paperwork because they've learned a desperate landlord will do it for them.If you want a S8 tenant, you MUST advertise on www.AffordableHousing.com

I would be very careful with a contractor demanding a deposit before they start work.

I’d like to buy the place, renovate it, and then live in it for a few years as my primary while renting out the 2/1, and then ultimately selling or renting out the main house too. wondering what the best purchase strategy would be considering I don’t have the full purchase price in cash on hand?

Just make sure to read the management agreement carefully, the monthly % isn't the only cost to consider!

Usually, tenants are receptive to the idea but I also wonder if tenants with a higher credit score care less about this feature than ones with a lower credit score who are actively working to rebuild their credit?

House hacking in a 4-bedroom here could absolutely work if you run your numbers carefully and stick to those “higher-end lower-end” neighborhoods.
