Each situation is unique, if they need to make modifications to the property, for example adding wheelchair ramps etc., I look at worst case of what would it cost to roll-back all changes and add that in. 

@Brian Bisdorf It's always important to vet tenants but as a general rule of thumb, the better situated the real estate, the better quality of tenant you can attract.

I’ve seen several investors start out with house hacking in a similar situation.

For more affordable properties—those priced under $400,000—the timeline is even shorter, with many homes receiving offers within two weeks of being listed.This fast-moving market poses a particular challenge for first-time buyers who may not be as familiar with the urgency required in competitive bidding situations.
