Since we are considering a 4 bedroom house, let's compare it to a 2 bedroom 2 bath duplex each side.  

why on gods green earth would you want to buy 10k condemed houses :)  seems like a waste of time and money to me.

All sec8 rentals are subject to review and approval by the housing authority issuing the vouched.  

There's supposedly a large medical center being planned, which will also need convenient housing.

Quote from @Brandon Le: Your first purchase could/should be a house hack.

In fact, in many states, the seller cannot commingle the tenant's security deposits with other funds and the tenants must be told which financial institution their security deposits are held.Finally, because the tenants are section 8, the local housing authority may also be helpful in resolving this with the seller.To Your Success!

Hi Delroy,Congrats on your first house hack—what a great start!

Keep the current investment and buy another house hack to live in.

Leverage your construction skills for flips, start with smaller projects to minimize risk, and consider house hacking or long-term rentals for a steady income.

Id rather see you house hack a property.
