In setting up the platform I have connected with someone local in the area and that will be my 1st point of contact and I could share his info for you to reach out.

I wish them well. 

I have 3 windows as well that don't stay in the open position that I have to replace.

This property offers spacious townhouse like setting floor plans offering one, two and three-bedrooms.

I’m a realtor in Indiana and have an investor client doing really well with Section 8 rentals.

It very well could become a large enough investment to be worthwhile, also solving for "unexpected emergencies ", for the most part and would an easy self management situation if you were to live onsite in one of your connected townhomes.

Don't apologize, don't explain how the 'chosen' tenant was more qualified than they were, wish them well in their search.You're running a business and you've made a business decision. 

They have always rented them at well below market rate and the repairs were made by the tenants.

If this keeps reciprocating well with the community, I'll keep doing them.

I would go as-is as well!
