I have a 4 bedroom house for rent and its 1 level all tile.  

In many locations, including some of the other hot-housing market cities, appreciation has made homes unaffordable to those who don’t own a house they can sell for the funds needed to make a move.

My elderly parent has a house and land to sell (~300k).  

They also aren’t budging in letting see or bid on the house off market, which is frustrating.

When they left, we discovered that the dogs peed all over the house.

I'm looking to buy my first property as a house hack ideally a 3 or 4 unit, and I have what could be a 3-5% down payment saved right now.

He should have bought a house 50 years ago.

The question is how is the profile of the state in regards to landlords, growth for the economy, supply of land, and is this house attractive enough on the exit to garner an aggressive bid if you were to sell in the next up market cycle in 7, 12, 15, 21 or whatever years?

The extra income from section 8 could easily be wiped out if you get someone in your house who ends up destroying the place.

Sale price: $170,000 This house was a screamer!!!
