Good idea? Terrible idea? Questionable idea? More importantly,can I move out if it proves to be a mistake?

The only concern is that you are stuck with the card forever once you buy the key, so make sure you like the card.

I think its not a terrible card, free connections criminal are useful.

Even if you are collecting scrap, they reduce the chance of drawing the other lodgings which give several times more.
Hopefully selling lodgings will be implemented long before anyone starting out today needs to worry about collecting all the Tier 8 items though.

I remember reading that scrap is only worth collecting if you get three or more at a time so wouldn't that just mean the bat and the 4 card lodgings?
This is true in terms of Echoes per Action, but there are a lot of things you can only get though large numbers of Scraps and getting scraps can be a long arduous, non-grindable process.
So, for some people, the ability to get any scraps at all, even one at a time, is worth it.

Draw cards in the Flit and you have a chance of trading favours with the Revolutionaries. Also Urchins and Criminals, but only the Urchins and Revolutionaries are worth it.

Why do you say that connected Revolutionaries is useful ? I got a lot of that since I sold the location of the Nadir to that faction (I don't care about them but I needed the vial to eventually get the 5-card Bazaar lodgings) and I have no idea what to do with it.
Because this will occasionally happen:

28 echoes basically. Unless you have a weird reason for wanting Mr Pages' useless card...
If you're getting 'free' revolutionary connection as a side-effect then this is probably the best card in the game.
And after you stop caring about echoes so much, it's still the best card in the game 'cause it's worth 20 scrap with the Urchins.
Always be flipping cards in the Flit, unless you're after something else location-specific.

If you are asking whether should you *buy* the Flophouse, the answer is no.
Of the purchasable lodgings, here is a list of lodging you should absolutely not purchases:
Smoky Flophouse
Bookstore
Cottage by the Observatory
Generally speaking, you will begin to regret their purchases when you become PoSI. And since they are cheap, if one day FBG added useful things to these lodgings you can always buy them later on.
