I would also suggest that you contact your local Public Housing Authority (PHA), which usually runs the Section 8 program and might have knowledge of other local resources or particular housing initiatives that may help you find a qualified tenant, such as project-based vouchers (linking the money to your specific unit) or, in some cases, housing programs for veterans (HUD VASH) or other special populations that may need special housing assistance.

Jada Thoele Can I buy an Assisted Living with a DSCR loan?
26 September 2025 | 0 replies
Assisted living and sober living properties are usually classified as “mixed use” → commercial.​👉 Good news: we work with lenders who DO allow DSCR loans on commercial properties.​But here’s the catch…​Lenders only look at the real estate value (the property).​They won’t include the business value in their appraisal.​Example:One of our appraisals came in at $400K with business included.The lender adjusted it down to $360K for property only.That’s a $40K difference—and it matters.​Key takeaway:DSCR = asset only (the property).SBA = property + business.​If you’re exploring Assisted Living or Sober Living with DSCR financing, know the difference before you get surprised at closing.​Have DSCR questions?

You may desire to look into ways to increase your leverage and use the money for other investment opportunities.You do not state what state this is, but if it is CA the property 13 reduced property tax is only maintained if the home was the primary of the deceased and will be the primary of a child (this was the case for my brother and he is still living in the home at a tax rate that is based on a 1977 purchase plus 2% max annual increase).
