They require 48-72 hours notice to schedule anything onsite so we've been waiting 2 weeks now for a Section 8 initial inspection date to be scheduled by them.

One simple example, if you take two rooms and rent another 4 rooms, you will have two cars and each of the other tenants will have at least 4 other cars making you house to accomodate 6 cars.

It's not cost-effective for me to buy a property right now.

Do you already own any properties, or are you just getting started and looking to purchase your first one?

Would that be, for example, if the PM says, "I manage a duplex for John Smith in Turlock," then I call John as a reference, ask John a few questions, and then ask John the address of his duplex so I can later look it up on the county website and verify if he is the owner?

I am looking for advice from people who have done this in the past.

I have two separate bank accounts (account "B1" and "B2") at the same institution.

And now, that roommate will be moving out soon, and has told me that the main tenant was not cleaning up after himself.
