I'm originally from San Francisco, CA so happy to help & be a resource for you.

What was the total cash into the original home?

I would also recommend hair catchers for the shower drains and sinks.

I originally posted that I wanted to do some house hacking.

I've been succesful with this strategy in my area (San Antonio) and have flipped the lots within a couple months of the original purchase.

We actually looked into mobile homes originally.  

It's worth noting that while the VA allows for a loan assumption, you'll need to qualify based on your single income (adjusted for any child support or new debts since the original purchase).
