I googled it and it seems someone else has had the same issue. 

I'm currently interested in learning about all types of real estate investing but thinking of starting off with house hacking or flipping. 

@Ash Gowda in general, I don't see an issue with tenants applying for rent assistance if they are in need.

But have you or someone you know used them to fix and flip a property?

The remote location, challenging terrain, workforce issues, and limited availability of nearby utilities contribute to this.

If all 3 units are roughly the same value, then you are only getting 1/3 of the total potential benefit.There's a lot of technicalities I'm intentionally skipping here, to distill the core issue. 

This is especially true if the property requires significant upkeep or if the heirs live far away.Owners of Distressed PropertiesSellers who own homes in poor condition and can't afford the necessary repairs may prefer to sell as-is rather than invest time and money into renovations.Landlords with Problematic TenantsLandlords who have been dealing with problematic tenants, frequent vacancies, or costly property damage might want to offload the property quickly to cut their losses and avoid further hassles.Owners Facing Major Life ChangesSignificant life changes, such as health issues, retirement, or downsizing, can motivate people to sell their property quickly.

Then you let the tenants know how to handle emergencies and issues, if they call you or who to call.

Background: I have one flip under my belt and when I started, I promised myself I wouldn’t just plateau, I’d go bigger with each project.

Currently having the same issue.
