They may not give us good health care but we can at least get into debt easily! 

. - Make sure you get a security deposit and perhaps do a surprise inspection of their current home.S8 requires an inspection (mostly health & safety) before approving a lease and then annually thereafter. - Not something most landlords taking care of their properties have to worry about.There are limits to clauses they allow in your lease.

I have had a few issues with Section 8 withholding payment due to minor needs during inspection like batteries in smoke detectors and painting over chipped molding or trim.

Some demographics want bail bonds, health clinics, cheap buffets, buy here pay here car places, and etc.. others want more upscale things.Look at the area near the apartments through the eyes of those who will live there.Know your renters desires--a fish knows his own pond the best.You need to know what renters for that building want.Good Luck! 

(Although I did see a property with “a $60k Tesla solar system with 4 batteries.”

Pretty much it won't be listed as an IRA, 401K, HSA, or anything else that is retirement/health related.

What will it cost to fix all health and safety code violations and make it look gorgeous to an A type property?

.- Changed the word "vermin" to the word "pests"- Changed the term "reasonably clean" to "generally clean"- Changed the sentence “safety or health hazards that would be reasonably expected to adversely affect the Guest’s stay” to “They contain safety or health hazards.”That's seriously it, other than the things I mentioned above. 

I fully understand how much money you make off of policies like these.I was licensed n life and health along with securities for over 30 years. 

Is the house rentable/meets health and safety codes right now?
