I want to invest with a 10-yr horizon in mind, understanding holding an asset that appreciates, while someone else pays down your mortgage, but that is if you at least break even!

I’d like to have someone review the property and help identify specific areas that may need to be brought up to standard before I proceed with landlord registration for the program.Additionally, I’d welcome any advice, suggestions, or insights from those with experience in this process.

Maybe your situation is different and if you don’t feel comfortable in the neighborhood then this may be a moot point anyway.As for FHA, my understanding is that you must intend to live in the house for a year  it sounds like you did intend to, but due to unexpected circumstances- lead exposure and unexpected unsafe neighborhood- you have to move.
