Take a closer look during due-diligence for appliance hookups and what type of animal/insect droppings are around.

You could aim to get the studious, low key, chill type of tenant as opposed to the rambunctious party animals typically found in a college setting thus avoiding the types of "confrontation" that are likely to come with the latter.

I don't even have a real estate license nor do I have any real connections to real estate professionals/investors.Outside of real estate, I enjoy spending time with family, watching anime and swimming.

Any advice in general as this is a new animal for me?

Fresh coat of paint, new LVP flooring, landscaping, fixtures, some basic service, and deep cleaning- It was a total of $14,091, and it was from my pocket.

I dont want to sugar coat it.

Interiors, I prefer wire shelves with a white coating on them instead of a wooden shelf.

The issue you run into with Section 8 is that those people live like savage animals.

For my rental, I did all the patching and skim coating myself, and got a nice smooth wall.

Do you do flat on coat 1 and then add gloss for the second coat on walls and trim but not worry about cutting in perfectly?
