The vacancies, rougher tenant base, unstable incomes, higher crime and more blight areas.

@Aileen OuyangThe decision to sell and house-hack a fourplex can be based on several factors.

Currency pegged $2BZD to $1USD (low inflation issues), Official language is English since it was a British Commonwealth, Property rights and laws are basically the same as the US since English based, 2nd/3rd world thus still Rough which I like (has flavor), 2 hour flight from Houston/Dallas connections, land is relatively inexpensive.

I'd assume all vanities, lower cabinets, 3to 5ft of drywall and base will all need replacing. 

Numbers are based on a price paid for the property.  

I'm worried that i will purchase something based off burning a hole in my pocket and not for the sake of being a good investment (mentioned above already). 

I was under the assumption because I wasn't informed of marektable title Before the closing date, that maybe there was/is a way to get the EMD back, but based on your response to my post, it doesn't look like I can.  

This will be based on the personal details of your business.

Currently, based on Altos Research, inventory is up 10% YOY and this has put pressure on median list prices which are down 5% YOY.

I do think you need a separate entrance option or at least two entrances in a four-plex to make it easier on the LTR tenants, but if you are open about it form the start, everyone gets it and you choose the unit composition based on which ones will be STR or MTR.
