Check with an agent in your area, but i'm willing to bet the comps wouldn't change drastically between the two.  

Best bet would be a “partnership” with a monied individual looking for a high risk/high return passive investment with you providing the “active” part.  

Your making a bet on them, that they can operate there business well and thus, will be good tenants. 

We’re simply cheerleaders, fellow players, and coaches trying to get the new players to live up to their potential. 

@Danielle B. as already stated, you should invest in real estate, not bet on government funding.Interesting article reviewing what Trump did to HUD during his last term:https://www.housingwire.com/articles/what-trump-budget-reque...

It has been mentioned above but your best bet is to separate the SFR and the 8 unit into two separate transactions.

In an area like Austin, I am betting you can find some great stuff for little cash.

I bet you save 50%.....

Negotiation LeverageThe long market time gives you leverage—consider making a lower offer with seller financing.Point out the high rehab costs to justify better terms.Offer flexibility (quick closing, interest on seller financing) to make it attractive to the seller.Final ThoughtsYour best bet might be to negotiate seller financing for acquisition and use a rehab loan or private lender for renovations.

But I think finding a cleaner to do it and/or a neighbor kid may be my best bet!
