I went with the extended plan. 

Then coverage extends.

I spent probably 18K fixing both up and now get $1500 a month renting both houses to an extended family.  

I am Italian with most of my extended family living in Italy.  

With 80k, I wouldn't want to extend more than 40k in my first deal. 

Extended kitchen cabinets to ceiling to help look custom, changed all light fixtures, added cabinet hardware to cabinets, added accent walls, added swing to front porch.

He’s never too busy to send me an extended listing or to show me a property.

I buy blend and extends for cash nationally where I can extend the lease or backfill.I buy at 10 cap rate or higher.

I would love to keep it as a rental but at this time I think it would take too long for the rent values to increase enough to make sense Worst case scenario is I have to hold the home for an extended period if the market decreases short term. 

Very difficult to operate low income housing through 3rd party management, especially over an extended period of time.
