Hey @Matthew Giblin - I'd have to echo @Shamar Gregg, Chicago offers a great section 8 program through the Chicago Housing Authority (CHA). 

I agree a walk-through alone is not comprehensive enough to find all issues with the home. 

Their role is purely administrative, so if you file incorrectly or choose the wrong entity type, you’re on your own.3.Hiring a Lawyer or CPA (White-Glove Service):This is the most comprehensive option, with costs ranging from $1,000 to $3,000.

I’m especially interested in finding a tool that provides comprehensive data for both short-term and long-term rental analysis, along with market trends and financial forecasts.Your feedback would be incredibly helpful as I narrow down my options and choose the best app for my investment journey.

(HACW being "Housing Authority County Wake"; and HAP being "Housing Assistance Program").

I have no time to schedule a contractor to walk through and provide a comprehensive bid.

Personally I think it should be a legal requirement for the reasons detailed above, showing comprehension for the legal contract there entering by proving consideration and thought has been made for potential exit and dissolution of said contract. 

Other methods:Real estate agent: Ask a local real estate agent for help Title company: Contact a title company for a more comprehensive property search Online property search platforms: Use specialized websites that offer property owner lookups.

The section 8 voucher pays $1,550 per month to 3 bedroom properties according to the Cuyahoga Metropolitan Housing Authority.

My main advice for avoiding liability is: (1) work with a great insurance broker to get comprehensive coverage; (2) avoid signing full recourse personal guarantees whenever possible; (3) max out your 401(k) or defined benefit plan with ERISA protection; and (4) strive to reach a point where you’re not personally involved in the business’s day-to-day operations.Disclaimer: While I’m a licensed attorney, I’m not your attorney.
