Unusual/Unique Properties (tough to sell later?)

Michael Hahn

I'm looking to buy and hold something as a house hack. I've come across some properties I consider to be unusual and unique. For example, one property has 2 living units, a 3br and a 2br, plus a home office with a separate entrance. Each living unit has separate driveways & garages. This property is actually incredibly perfect for me while I live in and house hack. My primary concern is that it will be incredibly tough to sell down the road. How many people are out there looking for a property that is a 3br unit, a 2br unit, and a home office, right? I'm just trying to figure out how to factor this into the equation. I suppose it could certainly take longer to sell, and thats fine, but, I'd be concerned that the pool of potential buyers would be so small that it could be subject to severe downside price volatility (aka just not being able to find a buyer at a fair price, forcing me to discount it)

Are these concerns valid, and how should I approach this situation? Thanks
