You can also ask some of them what times of amenities and finishes they think their patients might need and if it’s not too costly, add those to the property before they even tour it. 

It's a huge safety issue filled with liabilities left and right.

Take one step at a time, be patient, and enjoy the learning process.

What would you advice, should I go ahead and start out of state investing with section 8 why I continue to pay rent or patiently wait till I find a property in Houston to house hack (This will take some time away from my goal of investing in a certain number of units this year).Please share your opinion.Thanks

Hatch for roof access.The landing on the third floor could (technically) easily be extended onto the roof - but realize there are code/safety considerations around that.

As a seller, I'd prefer having due diligence money that I can credit back to buyer at closing but it's mine if they release, as I've dealt with too many buyers nit-picking over $10 inspection items like the oven range safety thing or use the inspection period to back out if a better deal hits the market or try to negotiate a lower price even if no big issues found, and I think due diligence money solves those problems.  

I would suggest that you go and patiently explain this fact and ask for what you need. 

If you haven't already, a professional eviction service might offer additional strategies for dealing with difficult tenants and can coordinate with law enforcement to ensure safe access for inspection.Hiring private security for a short period post-eviction can help ensure safety.

Be patient, stay focused on your goals, and be prepared to learn from both successes and challenges. 

Take someone with you for safety and as a witness.
