Finally, pick up the phone and call any similar complex to yours and see what they're chargingGino

I'm slowly making smaller improvements, like paint, light fixtures, and outlets, but my townhouse does need some larger repairs, such as new floorboards for my large deck (not covered by the HOA), an overhead light in the master bedroom, and new flooring in the basement.

Phone is 209-532-5102.

I haven't spoken to the county yet, but will make that phone call today.As far as financing -- I was leaning more towards getting a business line of credit or using a business credit card and rolling it over to interest free cards.

Regardless if there is a vacancy, repair, etc.

It's going to need new floors, new paint, some new doors and some drywall and doorframe repair among other things.

This targets family’s between homes, either because they just moved to the area; have a definitive time work contract; current house is being rebuilt/remodeled/repaired; students with “rich” parents; recent separated/divorced who needs space for children visits; Houston medical center stays; etc.  

4) What is process for handling repair/maintenance requests?

You can have an email for each account and you should be able to set your phone up see multiple accounts at once should you get inquiries or messages.Just log into each account to make updates and price changes.
