Drew,It sounds like you need to make it out to some of our investor networking events here in Wichita. 

This sounds like it's going to be an expensive lesson. a.

Quote from @V.G Jason: Quote from @Bob Stevens: Quote from @V.G Jason: HOI & HOAs have been killer here, but if you're going to hedge your bets than house hacking is as sound as it gets.

Title might be confusing, I'm asking for help or input on what other people have found success doing, not claiming to have any sort of sound strategy myself!!

But alas, this is going to be hard work.How do these numbers sound?

@Stephen G.Overall, it seems like a sound investment given the location and financing.

Sounds like its time to sell since the HOA fee just doubled which usually means the HOA has not been managed properly and failed to build a strong reserve account.

There's no way to guarantee things won't break, there are only ways to protect yourself financially so you can replace those items.

Here's a revised response with a more structured format:---Hey JeffIt sounds like you’ve got a solid deal in the works, but I totally understand your concerns about the 5-year seller carry.

Sounds like you are on the right track in offering incentives.
