Cant afford anything within an hour of home in the price range (200k loan) but also any tips at all help!

In general, I'm curious if this is a good investment opportunity long-term and what other information I should know to help make the decision.Here are some of the numbers:Property Value: Estimating ~$800,000, but it hasn't been officially appraised since it was purchased 10 years at $500,000.Taxes: $4,000Insurance: $2,100Year Built: 19125 Total Units: 2Br/1Ba, 2Br/1Ba, 2Br/1Ba, 1Br/1Ba, StudioUtilities: Owner pays only water and trash.Mortgage: Despite being zoned as a 5-plex, the property has been approved for residential mortgage previously (one unit classified as storage during appraisal).Previous Gross Rents: $45,480 (previous owner was very generous with rent to family/friends)Estimated Gross Rents: $69,600 (based on market value)Previous Annual Expenses: $12,500 = 27% of gross rent. 

If anyone would be kind enough to share some tips for a newbie and how to best manage money (House hacking?)
