Trying to get an idea of what amenities are being sought, and ideal size of the spaces.

In such cases, the property should ideally function as a flip, benefiting from either market appreciation or improvements ("forced appreciation") to maximize its value. 

Ideally, the seller has no existing lien balances against the subject property, so that the down payment (less expenses and commissions) goes directly to their bank account.

This house is also located in the ideal location to be a weekend/short-term rental.

I personally lean towards the multifamily route because I have a girlfriend and a dog which isn't ideal for a room by room rental.

And ideally you run the numbers of what these major expenses are likely to be (roof life expectancy, major systems, hvac, plumbing, siding, brick maintenance etc.)

Here are some simple tips to help you communicate better with your guests:Respond Promptly: Try to reply to messages and inquiries quickly, ideally within an hour, to show you’re attentive.Provide Clear Info: Make sure your listing is detailed with information about your home, rules, and check-in process to set clear expectations.Personal Touch: Use the guest’s name and reference their questions to make them feel welcomed and valued.House Manual: Create a simple guide with Wi-Fi details, local tips, and house rules to answer common questions.Check-In and Check-Out: Send reminders with instructions a day or two before their stay and before check-out to keep things smooth.Respect Privacy: Let guests know you’re available if they need anything but respect their privacy preferences.Handle Issues Well: Address any concerns promptly and professionally to ensure a positive experience.Follow Up: Check in after their arrival to make sure everything is okay and thank them after their stay, asking for feedback.If you have any questions about managing your Airbnb, feel free to reach out for tips or advice!

Ideally affordable, finished quickly and eco friendly!

Perhaps to the tune of $2-$3k per month or more.Your property will, in average market conditions, appreciate. 12-24 months after house hacking you ideally will find yourself in the favorable position of having 5-10% equity through loan amortization and appreciation.

Ideally partnering with someone to fund would be great.
