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

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

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! 

It's unbelievable how poorly some people treat their investments.Also- I wouldn't low ball too much without more evidence of a major issue.

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?

We will be starting a tiny home in West Asheville in the coming months, feel free to swing by when we get going and good luck in your search.  

How do you feel about new construction?
