Real estate is hyper local so it's hard to cast a blanket statement.  

You have any number of exit strategies after this, with the majority of people refinancing into a conventional mortgage or getting a commercial blanket loan to mortgage a number of properties together to minimize the closing costs(if they are <$50,000 properties).

They are also not a blanket rate for the whole area, if there are cheaper neighborhoods, the PHA can cap the rents in that area lower than the rest of their territory.
