One tenant moved out giving me the ability to rehab theirs + raise What was the outcome?

im looking to get into a house hack in either there or venice, or even palmetto, still just looking but would like to be educated when i do decide to make the move, any tips are appreciated, also if you need any help let me know!

We are just starting to research and plan for a move out to the southeast somewhere, still in early planning phase. 

However, prices on $1M homes haven't really appreciated all that much and we are looking to move to something much smaller near where our kids go to school. 

If you dont need the leases it can be nice because as soon as you get near completion on your rehabbing you can get your disclosures out, esigned, start your appraisal asap, and get the process moving quickly versus waiting around for tenants, lease ups, and all units to be rented.Best of Luck ~

Has anyone done something like this before and has insight/tips/advice?

I just moved a kid out last month after just five months in the rental because he was problematic.

This move, representing a $900 million investment and the creation of 4,000 new jobs by 2035, positions Columbus, Ohio, at the forefront of technological and economic growth.
