I'm an insurance broker and we work with 30 plus carriers and were catered to the homebuying process so I can always run a quote for you! 

You said, you can invest a "few thousand".

You need to let the tenant know this and that an eviction can affect their standing with the housing program.Since you did not know this basic thing, I would really recommend getting a property manager and watching how they manage until you have a better sense of how to operate.

You certainly can.

We feel like were doing decent, but we know we can get better results!

I am hoping someone can help.
