Do a 1 year lease and let them know you are willing to keep them long term if things continue as they have been.I did a 2 year lease with one set of tenants and it includes annual rent increases.

Not sure of any residential lenders that can value the property off the income approach if that's what you're looking for, but you can still get appraisals that include it.

You can only get that rent if you include all utilities, which you would never ever want to do. 

that we’ve learned in our 24 years, managing almost 700 doors across the Metro Detroit area, including almost 100 S8 leases.

In 100% of the cases I have experienced (including one we are working on as we speak) the roomates leave their crap behind and leave the house in a total mess.
