@Sung Yu You can 1031 exchange your fourplex into a single-family home, provided it’s initially used as an investment property (rented for 1–2 years) to meet IRS requirements.

It would require being a process. 

One housing authority wouldn’t even entertain the request, while another was open to it because it was an affordable housing property, requiring just an application for the exemption.From my experience, dealing with government agencies, especially when trying to save money or get financial benefits, can be a slow process.

Sure it may require some touch-ups here and there when you're done, but for the most part it turns out to be nicer in the end.

Unless you qualify as a Real Estate Professional (which has strict requirements), your rental losses can only offset passive income.

Capex-  make a list of all upgrades required.  

The better the rates, lenders generally want to see more experience, higher credit, occupancy and DSCR requirements. 

If your home is newer, requires little maintenance, and doesn't experience a vacancy for at least 12 months, your $300 cash flow can build up a tidy reserve to get you through.

In addition to property sourcing, I require an agent who can negotiate effectively on my behalf, ensuring I secure the best possible deals.If you have experience in identifying distressed properties or working with real estate investors in Florida, I would love to connect.

If you don't have a key, change the doorknob to an appropriate interior knob that doesn't require a key.I provide my tenants with keys to all doors.
