This is a baby step in my larger goals. 

People don't make as many babies as they used to, so those folks view the extra rooms as just extra stuff to clean, they aren't going to AirBnB the home to potential child molesters where their 3 year old and 1 year old live.

New-build properties, engineers moving, baby boomers retiring, makes the entire stretch a good formula.

Trust is a two-way street, and using a baby monitor on adults just seems like bad faith.

@Paul Wiseman, wood and laminate will suck up smoke smells, too.

The only ones that are successful their first year are the ones that work long, hard hours pressing palms, kissing babies, driving all over God's green earth, answering phone calls at 11:30pm, writing emails at 4am, and generally working like their life depended on it.

Yeah, that can help too.

As long as you look at the worse case scenario in every business deal and are willing to deal with that scenario and still sleep like a baby, do it, that's my advise.

As others have said it's a great deal for buyers but good for the sellers too.

I also have friends banking on the 10-year forgiveness plan that the current administration is fighting tooth and nail to eliminate.
