I'd say house-hacking is one of the best ways to get your foot in the door of investing.

Sections of highway will be closed for a good amount of time.I have seen many reports that the area is very crowed with is normal for this time of year.

We could not respond in a normal time frame that we usually respond in.So just wondering if guests were trying to contact hosts to find out if their rental was still available etc.. and not getting responses and guests were getting panicky.  

Any small damages by the tenant he will make the owner pay for it and claim it’s normal wear and tear when it’s clearly the tenants fault.

Which is basically just reported on your schedule E/C and taxed just as normal.  

I prefer the cleaners coming closer to the time of the next guest than immediately after the last guest leaves (normally this is only an issue during our slower season).  

Start by normal DD and circle back eventually? 

- Is it normal for the seller to specify the buyer's agent commission?

The good news is that this is normal.

Maybe a house hack/live in flip.I'm not aware of your markets normal appreciation though, so do take that into consideration.
