1) A down payment up front of $15-$30k per property (or whatever they can afford that you’d accept). 2) Rent (not applied towards purchase) - covers your mortgage, but no more maintenance or management fees, etc. 3) A windfall of the balance of the purchase price at the end of the term.Bonus: if they want, they can apply additional funds towards the balance of the purchase price on top of rent. 

I highly recommend this over adding anything else.

Hi everyone, With escalating home insurance prices, anyone here has properties in St Louis has any issue with super high insurance prices like Florida?

You could put 25% down and grab some of the extra cash you have and make the place more higher end - can equal higher rents - then sell for more in 4 yrs b/c it brings in more income.

I’m curious, did you end up implementing this strategy since? 

One thing I highly recommend (whether they're voucher tenants or not) is to make a visit to their current residence part of your screening process.
