Major difference between working with market renters and tenant assistant programs as well.

@Brittney Yang first red flag is it doesn’t sound like he’s that interested in long term holds but the primary reason for partnership is expertise in renovation and secondary reason is balance sheet and income to help get financing.Regarding reason one, I would offer to compensate him for his time in assisting you and have a very clear scope of what that responsibility is.  

Sometimes I have even directed troubled tenants towards assistance programs (such as single moms because there are a lot of programs for them specifically in my area especially).

I wanted to reach out and offer some assistance with your question.As someone in property management, I’m pleased to share that we’ve had significant success with the Section 8 program.

Please DM me and I can walk you through the process if you need assistance on the filters.   

It covers internet, water, trash, cable, and exterior (roof, siding, etc.).

@David LewisOK - so - if you're just doing Internet searches and are already ready to give up... you should put some more work in first. 

Well, the latest "clarification" of the vague memo is that "rental assistance programs" are exempt from the pause - so I am expecting payments to arrive as usual.

Airbnb.org, the nonprofit arm of airbnb.com, offers hosts options to assist with emergency housing in times of crisis, such as the 2025 Los Angeles wildfires.

I can share more insights in the near future, but I believe it also assists with estimating flips.
