Being spread to thin was one of my concerns with purchasing a SFH because of the large down payment requirement.

Main concern is I don't have accurate numbers on sqft, bed/bath or any of that, and the seller is old so he doesn't know.

I'm concerned that me not occupying the unit for the entire year would violate the loan.

@Christopher Hand my biggest concern isn't the dollar amount as those all seem in line with hiring a licensed plumber.

I'm quite concerned that this could escalate into very, very long term eviction moratoriums and rent payment suspensions.   

Would you be concerned investing in a market like Austin or Nashville given how much permitting there has been lately?

My biggest concern is I’m not sure what to do if I don’t find a buyer after getting a contract.

I'm interested in using some portion of that to house hack once I know what city my first full time job will be in.My first concern is, I often see it recommended that people should use a low down payment loan, such as an FHA loan, to purchase a small multifamily property to house hack, but this seems like an excessive amount of leverage to me.  

But if you are not that concerned with cash flow I think it would be a good investment paying the mortgage down, while it appreciates for a lot of really cheap equity over time.

Make it clear and non-judgmental, that you are concerned but have no plans to take any legal action.
