Here's my advice: Section 8 isn't inherently good or bad; it depends on your comfort with risks, your experience level, and the specific property.

I have heard that most cabins are failing inspection, but it is for easily fixable items like no exit map on each level or the charcoal grill being too close to the house etc.

First thing that stands out is your very low interest rate.

The problems I see are:Rent is a low percentage of the house value, so not optimal use of this equity/capital.Property taxes are high due to the higher house valueMy costs would be a baseline of $2700+800 = $3500 plus maintenance, unoccupancy, etc. so basically breaking even cash flow for 12 yearsIf/when we sell it, we'll owe capital gains tax since we wouldn't have a "new" house to 1031 into.

Fully remodelled house, garage, new huge one level deck in the back yard, fenced yard.

Additionally, negotiating with buyers directly demands a level of expertise and emotional detachment that might be difficult for homeowners with strong connections to their property.

Dayton's cool if you're looking for low cost rentals.

Big fan of well made low priced laminate, but last two houses got vinyl planks.

this type of property at the time with rates as low as they were aloud alot of upside with refi How did you find this deal and how did you negotiate it?

I know people killing it in Dayton but I'd recommend looking at other strategies like buying land and building single and multifamily in columbus. you can get lots right now for 30k or 40k within 1 mile of downtown in Franklinton, king Lincoln, olde towne east, southern orchards. land is a buyer's market and low competition.
