It's just a matter of getting your systems and tools setup along with assembling your local team (i.e. cleaners and handyman) -- You can do it!

I was thinking of possibly just doing a camp site set up of some kind.

Those two items added $6850 that included labor costs to our renovation costs.

Finally, how can I estimate the costs for repairs?

In my test run of Tenant Turner, the salesperson quoted me the exact same capabilities, features, and cost as Showmojo.  

This is a possibility for me due to the low down %, although I’d need to include closing costs and other fees.Conventional 5% downThis seems like a possible better option due to the lower PMI payments and potentially lower rate.

Hey Sean, I would first look at the cost of the loan.

Another consideration would be to look at it as a start-up expense if it's regarded as a trade or business (can deduct up to $5,000 immediately for eligible start-up costs).

The odds that anyone on Section 8 can become a home owner may be OK in a low-cost market, but the odds are ridiculously small in Austin.

Any ideas or expected costs?
