I've always lived paycheck to paycheck, and even let others care for me financially while I blew my money on food, and video games.

When I say challenging I mean that there is a lot of work to be done to improve access to services, food, gas, better schools, jobs, etc..  

@Jack Cannon If you talk to the right people you'll probably get a lot more food for thought and information than a generic grade on AirDNA.

Food for thought. 

I had one eviction where the tenants left about 4 days before the eviction was finalized, the power had been turned off which lead to all the food in the fridge rotting.  

If you can buy a 3-4 plex as residential while renting out the other units, you'd be hard pressed to fail.Other food for thought:1) How much equity do you have in the 3 properties you do have?

I house-hack my 4 bed single-family house and I not only have my mortgage covered, but also my utilities, gas, and food bill each month by my tenants.

Also happy to provide some recommendations for food and fun when you're in town!

Just some food for thought but please share more details and we can try and point ya in the right direction.  

Grains of salt on your food for thought, Best
