Successes leasing transitional/recover housing?

[Greta Climer]

Hi all,
Finishing a reno on my first investment property and plan to lease it as a transition/recovery house to someone I know through a non-profit. I already know lots of people wouldn't go down this path, so don't really need to hear "don't do it." I'm willing to take the risk and bet I can make money and we can provide some safe and affordable housing.

Would love to hear advice and encouragement from anyone who has done this successfully! 

Thanks!
Greta
