turnkey section 8 is not going to be like buying a brand new home there will always be differed items or stuff that does not work etc.. age of homes makes this impossible. then you add section 8 tenants and  there you go

That could be achieved without spending an inordinate additional amount in cap ex; In fact all I have seen had these items in common1.

The following are the key items I would recommend investors pay attention to:A. 

Tailor these amounts to the significance of the task; for example:Roofer: $1,000/day (critical to weatherproof the site).Painter or garage door installer: $100–$200/day.Contract Value & Payment Terms:Agreed payment amount (lump sum or itemized costs).Breakdown of payment terms:Deposits.Progress draws.Retainage (if applicable).Scope of Work:Be as detailed as possible.

It can potentially be deductible as an ordinary or rental expense, an itemized deduction or simply non-deductible. 

But you do need to give the deal items for worthwhile info.  

Pack their items, change front door locks and give new locks to other tenants.

I will always look at the air handler and make sure tenants are installing fresh filters (most neglect this item).  

You're investing in RE for long-term wealth, not a few hundred a month that can be wiped out with one CapEx item.

Unlike the free trainings I had been to before, this one gave clear and concise action items I could begin to implement on my own the next day.
