The house we just bought is in cabarrus county and currently 1300 sqft with a 200 sqft breezeway.

For residential multifamily properties (1 - 4 units), can you use a home warranty to take care of the repair costs associated with rentals?

House Canary is showing rent at 1100-1150.

It makes for great customer service and then they put a name to the voice and they think twice about messing up the house. 

I bought my first house when I was 24 and now have 5 relatively small properties in Michigan!

If you have a chunk of money to get going I'd personally buy the biggest thing you can if you don't I think house hacking into a 4 plex is great. 

The loan is with you, not with your tenant, so none of that means anything to them - in fact because you live in one unit and it's under 4, if you were self-managing you don't even have to abide by fair housing laws (at least on the federal level). 

However, even though every house, market, and buyer may be different, these few design elements work literally anywhere.If you have double sinks, use double mirrors and a vanity light above each mirror!

Best thing is to call the housing authority that manages the voucher program in your city/county.

Spend a little more money than you might have been planning to, buy in a better area (i.e. not a “turn key” 100k house off the mls), and self manage.
