The odds that anyone on Section 8 can become a home owner may be OK in a low-cost market, but the odds are ridiculously small in Austin.

Any ideas or expected costs? 

There's a limit to how much repairs can cost vs. a complete raze and re-build(will check current regulations to see what they are).My only concern are the liens and the problems inside.

We're considering selling a property Subject to (S2) -- meaning the buyer would pay closing costs and a downpayment, we keep the mortgage in our name, and the buyer would make the mortgage payments and monthly payments to us. 

This, however, changes not only from county to county but also by neighborhood, zip code, school district, etc.Another change we are witnessing in real-time is increased seller’s concessions, which can go towards financing closing costs or buying down the interest rate.

In this section, I want to emphasize the benefits of seller carry financing, share success stories where it enhanced the deal, and highlight the tax advantages of utilizing a 1031 exchange.Seller carry financing is a powerful tool that allows investors to purchase properties with flexible terms and minimal upfront capital.

Everything costs more than you think it will.

Is there a loan that will include the purchase price and rehab cost?

But are just sitting on it as the development cost is too high.
