The only thing I can't afford is for my guests to feel uncomfortable in my property.

My gut feels that this client will be my long term tenant and I should wait for her. 

If you feel there is damage, you have a duty to inspect.

It is important that people feel safe and comfortable in their living space.

If you have any recommendations for a GC or management company, feel free to send them my way or just send a message to say hello! 

I'm seeing other section 8 listings in the area mention that the tenant is responsible for their own appliances, so I feel like I'm missing a simple solution here or is it possible that section 8 would do the inspection, pass, and just inspect the tenants appliances later?

There are still deals out here, and don't get me wrong it's a lovely area, but I would be very cautious and do plenty of research as it's not such a fast growing market such as Charlotte or Raleigh.I'd be happy to answer any other questions you might have about this area, feel free to reach out if ya do!

How do you feel about new construction?

I feel bad because I know they won’t be able to find a place to move with such a large dog.
