Feedback has not suggested property needs additional repairs/work, only that they are looking in a different area.

There's also plenty of existing assistance out there, from 3.5% FHA homebuyer programs to Section 8 to SSI/VA disability, etc. 

Additionally house tenants bring more of their own appliance, like refrigerator, washer and dryer; which means tenants are responsible for repair and replacement of their own appliances. 

They offer a $10K repair fund to fix damages in addition to SD plus warranty for appliance repair etc.I have no say in whom they choose to move in, whether there are animals, limit on # of occupants etc. they reserve right to inspect property so i have no idea if they can tell me to remodel, paint etc.does this make sense i have a vacancy coming up in October (bad rental timing).

I'd be happy to assist with the financing portion (if you are considering here in HI).

It would depend on the nature of the repair.

Looks like there is one program that has not closed yet in Ohio, maybe not the right county, but I would call anyway, they typically know who else could help.https://nlihc.org/rental-assistance?

These programs often assert to guide you step-by-step through the process, provide assistance with funding, and connect you with contractors.

2 are not cashflowing with the required expenses for vacancy at 10%, repairs at 10% and capital expenditures at 5%.

Major repairs are done, taxes up to date.
