Living in top unit and renting out the bottom.

Best regards, This approach is neutral and objective, focusing strictly on the criteria, and avoids discussing any specifics about the applicant’s personal situation.

I suggest a neutral tone when you send your letter and hope for the best.

It tends to hide marks better.Walls: Neutral tones like SW Repose Gray, Behr Swiss Coffee, or Moore Classic Gray are renter-friendly and modern.Trim and Doors: Use a crisp white like SW Extra White or Moore Chantilly Lace.Accent Walls: For a touch of style, consider an accent wall in soft blue-gray. 

bottom line - you can't use a square foot estimate... you need a bottoms up estimate as @Samuel Eddinger alluded to.

Bottom line is buy as big as you can reasonably buy once you are out of small multifamily.
