They are holding the proceeds from my sale and I am planning to buy a couple of DSTs shortly.

@Bryan Zayac  In PA, there is a state document called the Municipal Planning Code MPC.

@Trace P. again, why would the government logically spend YOUR tax dollars paying more than market rent for an S8 tenant?

When i press on the cracked areas, it does not appear soft or wet.I plan to fix it, but I worry it may reappear in months.

Quote from @Michael Smythe: @Felicia Jenkins the shorter the term of the lease and the more tenants there are, the more challenges you'll face - especially if you plan to manage remotely.Who will be your boots on the ground, do showings, maintenance, etc.?

I have a goal of being able to spend time with my daughter and family.

And does Congress approve this spending?

I think holding is a great long term plan.
