I started out with a flip house and am currently focusing on long-term rentals.

We live in the main house which along with the garage was built in 1927.

I moved from Connecticut to Columbus, Ohio in 2012 and started investing in 2017 with a house hack

I can understand that low cost housing will appeal appeal to a different tenant profile, but if the product itself is very good won't it also attract the kind of tenant you want more readily?!?

If we put a tenant in the house we will have to pay the state back their $8,000 of assistance.Loan Balance: $150KCapital Required to Rent: $10K ($8K to pay out the state and $2K that I put into professional cleaning and new carpets.) 

The house looks really dark.

I believe that the only way small investors can provide affordable housing and make money is not by investing in affordable housing by itself.

And then of course, I'll be able to enjoy the benefits of the voucher payment from the Housing Authority. 

Or, you could also pull a list of pre-foreclosures, skip-trace, contact sellers and see if you could help them get out of the house with less damage and loss than if their house went through foreclosure. 

Also this house was in a 500 year floodplain and a very small deck off the back.
