Hi, sorry for a very late response.

What we find is the missing piece is some pros do not realize that it is indeed possible to have a "rental property" that is actually not a "rental" for tax purposes and treated as a business. 

Thanks for the response.

By catering to consumers’ demand for unique experiences that can’t be found online, malls are redefining the purpose of brick-and-mortar retail to thrive in the digital age.

Quote from @David Felt: You are responsible for maintaining the home in its original condition.

Whenever there is assistance provided for income or assets purpose (DPA for closing cost and down payment) that closing takes little longer compare to regular closing.

Assuming it's written in your management agreement somewhere that states the owners are current on all financial responsibilities related to the property, does anyone require them to actually provide a current mortgage statement, HOA payment record, taxes paid, etc..... at least at the time of the original management agreement signing.Recently had a new owner sign the agreement, only to find out after we had secured a new tenant for them, that they were in financial distress to say the least (inquiring about bankruptcy) .

I'm sure the answer is "it depends" but in general, do people that operate medium-term rentals tend to find a better response from a unit that looks pretty or a unit that might have some more perks while someone is there for a short time?

Landlord can require tenants to be responsible for separately metered utilities, so can avoid waste.Landlord can get annual small increases in rent.NegativesMost of us don’t treat something we get for free the same way we treat something we’ve worked hard to obtain.S8 applicants claim “broke” and don’t like to pay application feesSame goes for security depositsS8 tenants, in our experience, tend to cause more property damage than non-S8 tenants. - Make sure you get a security deposit and perhaps do a surprise inspection of their current home.S8 requires an inspection (mostly health & safety) before approving a lease and then annually thereafter. - Not something most landlords taking care of their properties have to worry about.There are limits to clauses they allow in your lease.

You have a leg up on most in that you understand regiment, organization, responsibility, and dependability.
