Quote from @Joshua Piche: Im looking to move out this year and house hack my first property I’m 24 debt free still living with my parents .

this is unacceptable for someone like me who manages and is a member of multiple separate LLCs, partnerships, portfolios.  

Generally there are multiple units for each "zone" if you will when I've seen them installed.Regarding your problem at hand, I personally would simply adjust your plan to move and make your initial plan to get the current issues resolved, while costly now, in the long run holding onto the unit will likely pay off. 

Another trick from investers I’ve worked with is chatting up folks at local meetups who’ve recently navigated the same municipality.. they’re often happy to share how fast or slow things move.

At its most simple we’re separating the appreciation/capital buildup benefit from the cash flow benefit.  

There are no upfront costs so why not establish a relationship with someone who actively represents real estate investors and move forward with vetting your ideas.Best.

But, as my wife and I have done this over the past 5 years, we have found it moves less and less each time, and that we are essentially living the life we envisioned 5 years ago when we started this process. 

We know 3 of the units can't be the issue since they either moved in or out while this was happening. 

If it does happen with guest there, just get someone out to deal with it asap and move forward.

Talking to an appraiser early is a smart move—they can guide you on what improvements will add the most value.Don’t forget to fix any deferred maintenance and highlight unique features like tall ceilings or original hardwood floors.Let us know how it goes, and feel free to ask more questions—we’re here to help!
