If you're ever looking for assistance, I have owned and operated multiple sober living programs for about 6 years now and also have been in the investor/landlord position.

Does anyone know of an income relief program in North Carolina for property owners that have short term rentals that are not renting due to hurricane impact to an area?

We pay hardly any income tax via the REI program. 

Quote from @Marta Wendel: Thach Nguyen's program is very bad!

The spider web of trying to communicate with all 5 kids in a duplex + 10 parents is ripe with miscommunication, especially when 10 of them don't live at the property. 

@Audrey Sommer it will be challenging to match what a PMC can do.Example: we post to around 30 websites via syndications via two software programs we pay for and also have a marketing team that manually enters a few.The Zillow Group is probably the easiest for a landlord to use.

The quick good/bad of Section 8:- S8 tenants tend to be rougher on the property (but not always)- Paperwork/inspections/etc. can be burdensome and tough to navigate (especially initially)- People often think FMR rates are guarantee rental rates but that's not the case- Usually the rent isn't 100% subsidized and a lot of people don't realize this- S8 tenants tend to stay a lot longer than cash tenants- Obviously, the guaranteed rent portionOverall, I'm neutral on the program.

Do you watch all the Fix Up to Flip programs on TV and Youtube videos?

Several programs, like Homeward, enable agents to offer cash offers to homeowners.

You'll for sure get those costs later.If you're looking for a sub $300k market in the SE, I'd pursue college towns with good athletic programs and create small STRs but be ready for the seasonality.
