This leaves me $700/mo (plus $200/mo in reserves) to pay myself, which seems high for a “house hack”.Hindsight being 20/20, I may have bought out of my price range.

Someone told me there're some new build deals there but the area seems not well-developed and will need some time to get its value increased. 

Seems clean, visually appealing and somewhat updated.

When it seems like a good fit, in the past, I've gone ahead and pre-approved the stay.

All the other houses on the street seem to be fine.   

but, it's not going to be "profitable" for several years, depending on how you define profit.you'll have a down payment, then closing costs - which new investors always seem to be shocked by - then potentially some costs to get a property rent ready, then you'll pay a month's rent to get it listed and rented out, then you'll likely have some repairs after the tenant moves in.  

Even for a credit union that's pretty aggressive, and at a high level, seems like a great deal. 

There seems to be a bit of hostility here from the contractors, and this was really just a question so I could better understand and more easily work with contractors.This question was for a first-time encounter with a new contractor not recommended to me by anyone I know.I am happy to give weekly checks for progress, purchase all materials upfront including all the fittings, nails, caulk, and whatever else the contractor chooses.

I can't seem to access the saved analyses from my computer desktop view.  

I'm always looking for ways to provide value to my tenants while making our rental properties stand out & this seems like an innovative (and cost effective!)
