We've rented out some of our best investment properties (New Construction/Turnkey) to Sec 8 residents, and the rent guarantee always helps in achieving consistent cash flow each month.

I inherited a property with two tenants who don’t pay rent.

Metro Atlanta, generally speaking, respective markets 30 to 45 minutes from the City, will be tight on cash flow unless you implement a creative investment strategy, such as short-term rentals, medium-term rentals, or rent-by-the-room properties, or allocate at least 30% to 35% towards your downpayment if you intend to hold the property as a long-term rental. 

When evaluating a property management company, it's important to look beyond just the management fee and consider the full scope of services and costs involved.For example, at our company, we charge a 10% monthly management fee, a $250 lease renewal fee (unless it’s a takeover tenant, which requires additional effort to establish a strong relationship - because usually people are changing pm companies for a reason), and the first month’s rent as a leasing fee.

Since comps are limited, analyze similar nearby locations to estimate demand.When pitching investors, focus on a clear business case: expected income, expenses, occupancy, and ROI.

The fact you brought this up on this board with this situation tells me that you are fairly new to renting by the room.  

Quote from @Alex Spivey: I want to start renting as soon as I can so does anyone have adviceYou want to find a place to rent and occupy, or you want to buy an investment that you can rent to others?

It’s not just about making the space look great—it’s about making it functional and thoughtful for how your guests will actually use it.For example, one of my properties is located near a nature park where my guests often go hiking, biking, canoeing, and sailing.

I moved to Rent Manager (RM) several years ago and couldn't be happier about leaving QB. 

Generally speaking, with SFR or small multis, I just rely on the lease/rent roll (and some form of proof of payment; i.e. bank statements, deposit receipts, tax returns, etc.).
