Not a terrific deal though it’ll free up some cash flow from my current renting situation which is always welcome. 

Personally, I perceive a fair amount of risk in the market.  

Inheriting a tenant comes with risks, but if they're good tenants, that's great! 

The DOTs position is that we should have consulted with them concurrently in the design phase and because we didnt we took on this risk.

There's no mention of your income, monthly expenses, DTI, risk tolerance, goals, etc.

The harder wear layer stuff gouges less when someone drags a bed across it.I use Innago, free, very good.

Hey Sharma, if you know all the risks associated with buying RE and doing section 8 there, then by all means go for it.Lots of people are telling others to "go there" because the inventory is high and people need to get rid of it.As someone else mentioned, before you make any investments, go drive around and make a decision for yourself if you want to invest there.One last piece of advice: Don't just look at the numbers.

Feel free to reach out any time.

If you are hell bent on owning this condemned property, have her deed you the property and then, since "she wants nothing to do with the property" she can be legally free from any obligations.

If it’s worth it as a long-term rental or there’s good appreciation in neighborhood, may be worth the risk of moving forward with back-up plan to sell or long-term rental if HOA restricts ADU or STR in future.
