It took a posting from me fir Grocapitus to make adjustments??

When rent is too low it speeds up the leasing.   

If it’s a tax office, they could be swamped or uncertain about their future.What’s your gut telling you.. are you leaning more toward a full rent adjustment, or focusing on retension for the long haul?

Have an Insurance adjuster rep work for you in settling the claim with the insurer.E. 

Change orders are going to happen, but by needing approval from you before they move forward, this allows you to control expenses better and/or make adjustments in the SOW so that you can stay on track and on budget.

So talking with your Realtor on scenarios that truly are likely may help you speed up your search and offer process, and help you find a great spot.

These are good indicators of quality tenants.You can also adjust how much deposit you take as well.

@Kevin Sobilo I was speed reading and wasn't actually looking for a perfect analog but your assessment doesn't sit well with me either. 

If it's not feasible due to circumstances I suppose I'll have to adjust my situation (find weekend job, move back to NJ with parents, move to a different state with, etc.)All responses are appreciated, and I am absolutely open to chatting on the phone by the way.My view on house hacking is it can be a great tool to buy a house you could not  otherwise afford, but it shouldn’t be a goal in it of itself if that makes sense and that’s not to discourage you from investing just there are alternatives such as the stock market. so I’d start by asking where you want to live, do you want to own a single family home or does it make more sense to rent in a more interesting neighborhood like Arlington, Alexandria, that’s gonna be a personal choice, Will your monthly payment actually be less than renting/how many people do you need to get in the house to afford that?
