Generally there are multiple units for each "zone" if you will when I've seen them installed.Regarding your problem at hand, I personally would simply adjust your plan to move and make your initial plan to get the current issues resolved, while costly now, in the long run holding onto the unit will likely pay off. 

So thanks to the people that helped me adjust my mindset in literally one day of interacting on here.I went into my Followed Forums and removed Starting Out and Wholesaling from that preference.

Hi Gianma, Thank you for the honest review and comments, truly.I went back through our emails and correspondence to get caught up to speed.

We found that two key factors significantly helped us succeed with our short-term rental (STR): using NightlyPricer instead of AirDNA and opting for Safely Insurance.NightlyPricer: Rather than relying on AirDNA, we chose Nightly Pricer, which provides more dynamic, real-time adjustments based on demand, local events, and market trends.

I have heard of a fair number of college students, particularly freshman who struggle to adjust to college and have to return home for mental health reasons.

So for the Comps you make to arrive at your ARV something that jumped out at me was the adjustments.

If it's not feasible due to circumstances I suppose I'll have to adjust my situation (find weekend job, move back to NJ with parents, move to a different state with, etc.)All responses are appreciated, and I am absolutely open to chatting on the phone by the way.My view on house hacking is it can be a great tool to buy a house you could not  otherwise afford, but it shouldn’t be a goal in it of itself if that makes sense and that’s not to discourage you from investing just there are alternatives such as the stock market. so I’d start by asking where you want to live, do you want to own a single family home or does it make more sense to rent in a more interesting neighborhood like Arlington, Alexandria, that’s gonna be a personal choice, Will your monthly payment actually be less than renting/how many people do you need to get in the house to afford that?

Just make sure to adjust the rent enough to cover the average utility costs and include it clearly in the lease terms.

When the tide does shift, you'll be cruising on Easy Street while the others are still getting in the water, adjusting their goggles, and warming up their muscles.
