Its like going to any school or reading most any textbook, much the same data, authors write and present it with their own flair. 

Would the lease define if we permitted to make changes to the property if the tenant is still occupying the property, if the tenant permitted to run a home business from the property, or is that all through the housing authority?

Go down to the housing authority and talk to them, they don't hate landlords you just have to be understanding and patient and you will eventually find someone who can help you. 

Following the advice I found in the book that @David Greene authored, I sent out mass emails to several real estate agents, contractors, lenders, and property managers to see who would reply.

Back when I read Rich Dad, Poor Dad, the author makes the point that you can do well in either stocks or real estate.

Most owners want to know about the tenants in their properties, we discuss rent rates, spending authorization, preferred way to communicate (phone, email, text etc), how involved do they want to be.Everyone gets a monthly report and accounting regardless.

A recent Eight Circuit opinion is illustrative: "We recognize numerous similarities exist between a corporation and an LLC, but Congress is the appropriate forum to consider and, if it desires, to apply the same citizenship' rule for LLCs as corporations for diversity jurisdiction purposes.

If privacy is now the goal, provide something the parties and lenders can rely upon to reduce or eliminate liability... such as an LLC certificate identifying and signed by all members and including a resolution appointing an authorized signatory, plus an indemnity to anyone relying upon it. 

@Mary MitchellI’ve spoken directly to the handler at the housing authority (section 8) and they claim all that is needed is 60 days notice regardless of reasoning.

Also you may also want to consider the self-directed solo 401k.Following are the similarities and differences between the solo 401k and the self-directed IRA.The Self-Directed IRA and Solo 401k SimilaritiesBoth were created by congress for individuals to save for retirement;Both may be invested in alternative investments such as real estate, precious metals tax liens, promissory notes, private company shares, and stocks and mutual funds, to name a few;Both allow for Roth contributions;Both are subject to prohibited transaction rules;Both are subject to federal taxes at time of distribution;Both allow for checkbook control for placing alternative investments;Both may be invested in annuities;Both are protected from creditors;Both allow for nondeductible contributions; andBoth are prohibited from investing in assets listed under I.R.C. 408(m).The Self-Directed IRA and Solo 401k DifferencesIn order to open a solo 401k, self-employment, whether on a part-time or full-time basis, is required;To open a self-directed IRA, self-employment income is not required;In order to gain IRA checkbook control over the self-directed IRA funds, a limited liability company (IRA LLC) must be utilized;The solo 401k allows for checkbook control from the onset;The solo 401k allows for personal loan known as a solo 401k loan;It is prohibited to borrow from your IRA;The Solo 401k may be invested in life insurance;The self-directed IRA may not be invested in life insurance;The solo 401k allow for high contribution amounts (for 2018, the solo 401k contribution limit is $55,000, whereas the self-directed IRA contribution limit is $5,500);The solo 401k business owner can serve as trustee of the solo 401k;The self-directed IRA participant/owner may not serve as trustee or custodian of her IRA; instead, a trust company or bank institution is required;When distributions commence from the solo 401k a mandatory 20% of federal taxes must be withheld from each distribution and submitted electronically to the IRS by the 15th of the month following the date of each distribution;Rollovers and/or transfers from IRAs or qualified plans (e.g., former employer 401k) to a solo 401k are not reported on Form 5498, but rather on Form 5500-EZ, but only if the air market value of the solo 401k exceeds $250K as of the end of the plan year (generally 12/31);When funds are rolled over or transferred from an IRA or 401k to a self-directed IRA, the amount deposited into the self-directed IRA is reported on Form 5498 by the receiving self-directed IRA custodian by May of the year following the rollover/transfer.Rollovers (provided the 60 day rollover window is satisfied) from an IRA to a Solo 401k or self-directed IRA are reported on lines 15a and 15b of Form 1040;Pre-tax IRA contributions on reported on line 32 of Form 1040;Pre-tax solo 401k contributions are reported on line 28 of Form 1040;Roth solo 401k funds are subject to RMDs;A Roth 401k may be transferred to a Roth IRA (Note that from a planning perspective, it may be advantageous to transfer Roth Solo 401k funds to a Roth IRA before turning age 70 ½ in order to escape the Roth RMD requirement applicable to Roth 401k contributions including Roth Solo 401k contributions and earnings.)
