I want to address space/safety concerns before beginning any kind of screening process. 

The property managers for the most part are awful unless you have 100+ units and then they prioritize you. 

Prior,  it was in inflation adjusted bonds.  

You can use recent purchase price and go up to 75% LTV with 650+ fico if property is 70% occupied with no health and safety issues. 

The safety and well-being of our tenants should be a priority, and the program should adhere to its own policies.If you have faced similar issues and believe that Section 8 has failed to uphold their lease agreements, I invite you to join me in a class action lawsuit.

I want to ensure that I follow any sort of regulations and safety standards but I don't know where to even start or know how to estimate rough costs.

Live-in rehab definitely sounds appealing with the cost savings, but you're right - my family situation prioritizes stable housing right now, so it wouldn't be the best fit.Tahoe STR: Thanks for the reminder about permits!

There are sometimes longer escrows, around 30-45 days, the pest inspection which you mentioned, and sometimes certain safety issues that need to be repaired.

The numbers look good all around, my lingering question mark is around general safety of the area.

Finally, I look at housing starts, price points, infrastructure and safety - both cities are comparable, although Huntsville seems a bit better.
