I am hoping that one integrated system can handle both functions.

This is a prime example of functional obsolescence.

Many Martis buyers are interested in form over function and the builds can reflect that, with more $ spent on adding square footage and finishes than the details that aren't seen (insulation, ventilation, water management, etc). 

I recommend focusing on getting a great investment property and disregarding Section 8 in that pursuit because any property can be a Section 8 property, but a lousy investment is lousy regardless of having a Section 8 tenant or not.Section 8 will perform a basic functional and safety inspection for your units after you have an agreement with a Section 8 tenant and your local housing authority.

Also, most rentals are more about function than form.

The next buyer brought in an engineer who had over 20 years experience with older residential homes in Denver and said, "yeah, it's not perfect and certainly not to current code but it will likely continue to function as it has for the past 80 years."

Hands down, Left Main/Salesforce is the most robust CRM.

An existing kitchen layout might work well for adding a dishwsher or microwave hood for example allowing it to be made functionally modern without a major rehab.

Hopefully we'll at least see some property tax breaks for a year or so, with pricing resets.Cash flow on single family or even multi is always a function of leverage.

A big part of guest experience is design and functionality of the home.
