Here's the details:I was listening to a BP podcast or BP adjacent podcast over the last 2 weeks and I remember it mentioning a company that can assist in styling for renovating homes. 

Hard hard pass on section 8OCCASIONALLY I'll take a tenant with rental assistance from a group like Salvation Army or something only because the paperwork is less ridiculous.

As mentioned, your best bet is to get an adjuster to try to assist on working with you to maximize the amount received.

There are over 20 active CPAs here in Biggerpockets assisting RE investors with their tax planning.

Typically Section 8 assistance will track along the market rent for low income communities in the area (slightly higher or lower depending on the location). 

If you ever need help, I’d love to assist you in gaining more knowledge in real estate investing and blending your construction and remodeling experience for success in this new chapter.

But assist as much as possible with their renters insurance to get them to cover this.

You seem very green, I would highly suggest finding a property management company to do this for your while you learn the ropes and how things work.However, you can also get a copy of "The Book on Managing Rental Properties" by Brandon Turner, and get some really good information.The main one's to consider are:Background check - totally clear, or will you allow certain thingsEviction history - totally clear, or will you allow if no evictions for last xx yearsIncome Requirement - usually 3x the cost of rentCredit History - totally clear, or will you allow certain thingsPets - yes or no, size, type, number of pets allowed, extra pet deposit/feeAgain, I highly suggest a property manager to assist you with this.

Removing Hassle: Take care of moving costs, dealing with tenants, or assisting with legal paperwork to make the process smoother for the seller.11.
