I have handled multiple 6-figure capital improvements, including assisting after a tornado that hit the Philly region in 2021.

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.

Money Back claims are easy - except when you are asked for the money back then the excuses start.We bought into one that is well known and is actively soliciting new members several years ago and found it to be a total waste of money - generic material, generic advice and support that vanished when we did not see the results they claimed and asked for some additional assistance. 

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). 

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