You could invest in section 8 or other government assistance programs that help lower income renters.

Do not fall into the trap that just because the home is priced low a lot more people are going to be able to afford it.

There are likely PM's that specialize in section 8 rentals.

My lease contract in section 9(5) of TREC NO. 20-12 says, "Seller shall transfer security deposits (as defined under §92.102, Property Code), if any, to Buyer."

Even if you then turn around and liquidate the 401(k), paying the 10% penalty and taxes, it's probably advantageous to take the match at the very least.The trap for those pursuing super early financial freedom, like before 40 years of age, is that the money in retirement accounts is a bit harder to deploy opportunistically, and people do not intend to use that money as part of their plan for early financial freedom.
