OP Lincoln is a great town since it is the state capitol, lots of government income, home of UNL, lots of medical etc.  

You might get it for $400,000 if you have that much cash, but it likely won't go for $50 or $100.You can read some of your state laws here:https://dor.sd.gov/government/county-treasurers/Don't ever waste your money on a nationwide trainer or a travelling road show in a hotel ballroom.

As well those government guaranteed section 8 rents have been consistently increasing every year. 5 Bedrooms are now renting for $2000 plus tenants pay ALL utilities. 3 Bedroom Duplexes are up to $1650 x 2 a month = $3,300 + they pay gas and electric.

Also, put any repairs pointed out by the inspector into the following categories (by priority)1) Health & Safety - to avoid tenant injury and potential lawsuits2) Property Preservation - to stop further costlier damages3) Government Required - city inspection repairs & S84) Marketing Negative Impact - who'll rent a house with purple bedrooms?
