Best of luck I try to see the potential in things but my first thought would be why in this age of property rush in TX, would it sit for 3 years....how many other investors passed this up?

It has a steady growth rate, median income is very solid for a city in FL, median age is 34, and not to mention a university (UCF) that enrolls about 70,000 students a year and one of the largest state colleges in the US, Valencia that enrolls another 68,000 students. 

I know in NJ, once foster kids reach a certain age, instead of looking for housing they will try to help them transition to adulthood by giving them monthly stipends and having them live in a house with a govt employee who helps them  and teaches them.

The full suite of checks run with the platform I'm using include:Job history, rental history, income verification, credit score, adverse items, credit history, nationwide criminal check, terror list, sex offender list, evictions.However, one of the tenant candidates that's interested in my property is a physician who contracts with a medical company. 

There are cars in the driveway that haven’t moved in ages.

I told my two sons (both high school age 15, 17) that when they had enough $ for closing costs we'd find them a rental home. 

At 39 years of age I do not want drama.

More thenlikely the popcorn will have asbestoes due to the age of the house.

At your age, house-hacking is the way to go.  

Even if the house was free it might not be a deal.  3500 square feet in that age home is SO much surface area.
