To be fair, I've encountered situations where the Section 8 rent received was higher than what cash paying tenants were paying.

Are there specific reasons you don't want to rent them out (e.g. bad previous experience with a tenant)? 

Specific is how I classify loans toed to a specific property, and generic is how I classify our family loan that is not tied to any specific property, so I have to allocate it myself.

Also, for your shared laundry situation, I recommend PayRange.

Without knowing the specifics of the neighborhood or property I would expect it to appreciate the same as other 1-4 units in the area over the next decade.

Do you need an S-Corp depends on your overall tax situation and profit you are expecting form this flip.This post does not create a CPA-Client relationship.

But also understanding that I will be asked questions that I don't know, and I need understand that it is okay not to know everything in these situations.

Be specific...."

I'm not the fair housing landlord expert but I'd probably steer away from referring to it as "veteran housing"Either way I can relate to your situation a little because I also own a house that is shared by multiple people.

They can evaluate your specific case and guide you through the process effectively
