The property is in the Jade District if anyone has particular insight on the area.4) I have some contacts for real estate agents, but I feel like they're better suited to assisting buying and selling SFR. 

Maintenance and potential repairs will also require a long-term financial plan and setting aside a contingency fund for such expenses.The steady cash flow, appreciation over time, and tax benefits can make a meaningful difference to your wealth in the long term, especially with the principal paydown on the mortgage.However, if managing the property from a distance feels too burdensome, or if you’d prefer the certainty and flexibility that comes with having less debt (especially given the high mortgage rates), selling and using the $100,000 in equity to reduce your loan for your next home may be the smarter move.

Plenty of free resources to assist with this. 

You would spend far more on Marketing, background checks, tenant placement, repairs, and possibly legal fees with the eviction process.  

I recommend you budget 5% of the gross rent (for the whole place, even what the rent would be if you were living in it as a tenant) for repairs and 5% for capital expenditures.

$3500 in repairs with little downtime in getting it fully occupied.

Repairs were $25,000.

Even if you do find such a deal, getting it to cash flow after repairs and a cash-out refinance is extremely difficult, especially for single-family homes.

Current owner is willing to break even on the purchase price however, in my opinion I think he should consider 5 or 10k less then the purchase price considering the amount of repairs he neglected over the length of ownership.

I suspect there would be massive blow back if the feds attempt to lower sec 8 rental assistance.
