What books do you like for business basics and business models?

We basically just look at the expenses of the property and then look at the rent that it will produce.

I like a mix of needing cosmetic updates and basically turnkey.

Basically I am trying to understand what is the risk behind so many "No Section 8/DSS" postings for rental properties. 

They are just not familiar with this concept. 

It is a very good concept, and hope to more of it in the future.

Basically the plumbing and heating need to be fixed for sure.

Every jurisdiction while following perhaps the same basic laws works a little differently. 

This basically made a lot of SFR or duplexes being used as short term rentals limit their income potential and made the income on par with what you could get with long term tenants. 

In the most basic terms, the pros have experience renting out properties and vetting tenants, handling repairs etc. and take all of that off your plate, with the con being that this costs money thus lowering your return.
