The house was vacant for 5 years with a new roof (5 years ago). 

I'm analyzing properties in my expensive market which has a dire need for affordable housing.

I have a house rental in California.  

@Paloma Wodehouse I started by going to Housing Court sessions and hearing the Cases and their "Dispensation of Justice".

New here to the forum and I am currently looking to invest in Ohio for the purpose of providing section 8 housing.

The presumption of most reading this is you mean stocks and bonds and other assets you would buy from brokerage houses.

NOMAD wants to rent my house with a Master Lease where they pay me the rent and then sublet to occupants who pay them.

I would like to pull out equity from the homes to build either a house on each or an ADU (they are zoned multi-family) depending what makes the most sense on returns and what is feasible.
