I'm going to take your comments about the communication to heart. 

And you are correct it was a house hack.  

Quote from @Chris Pontello: Hi Chris,Correct me if I'm wrong as I'm still learning creative financing solutions, but paying them some money would be if I could take over the loan.

I ended up having to pay for their tax preparer’s time to meet with me and make corrections.

Based on your description, it sounds as if you're asking about the City's housing authority, is that correct?

Unfortunately, my experience has been problematic, to put it mildly:* Communication: There were significant communication issues, including difficulty scheduling calls, which is still an ongoing problem.* Additional Charges: Jenny requested that I deposit on her checking account an additional $20-25k for her to purchase furniture, which I refused because I thought it was very strange, opting to give my card # instead.* Work Quality: Jenny never showed up to the house, she sent 2 people instead, she never mentioned she would not show up herself, she never asked for approval to send two others instead, they did not complete the job, and there were multiple unauthorized charges on my card.* Receipts and Expenses: Once I brought to Jenny's attention that we were 20k above budget, she refused for days to give me the receipts, saying that I needed to give her my credit card statement first.

They don't understand how to price effectively, study the market, set boundaries with tenants, establish policies and procedures, communicate, and dozens of other things.

Remember, most county assessors either have the info somewhat incorrect or their websites will be nearly impossible to figure out correct sq footage, especially for unfinished areas.

I was looking into fixing up and renting a single family home but I just want to make sure I’m starting off correctly.

TBH I don't know whether that means I have the right to expire this lease or they're completely responsible for all expenses.I like my tenants, they're always paying on time & communicative.
