I'm an IT leader at a small company, I have infrastructure, custom development (.net), and BI/datawarehouse teams.  

I also wanted to ask does anyone use special kind of leases with the section 8 tenants to protect themselves from certain things?

A borrower who files bankruptcy has protections under the bankruptcy law for debt collections.  

Have phenomenal concepts that should make a major difference in the marketplace once implemented.For sellers, I offer outstanding tools ranging from premium placement on the public real estate portals like Zillow and Realtor.com as well as custom webpages and targeted direct marketing campaigns for their properties.For residential income property management my focus is on providing outstanding value and service to investors and tenants.

So if something bad happens here, you are still protected.  

@julia fergoEven if you use a buyer's agent I would still run the paperwork through an attorney until you are comfortable reading through it yourself and know what is standard and how to protect yourself.

That looks pretty cool to me and it wouldn't bother me at all in a residential space however it wouldn't work for all properties/ locations/ customers.  

It sounds like you're already aware of how an LLC works by grouping assets under separate legal names to protect them.
