Think of house hacking revenues and privacy on a spectrum and broadly speaking they go in opposite directions.

SO is not a fan of the house hack (privacy and safety concerns) and multis are hard to come by, so either seems like buying and holding or keep renting and use our money elsewhere. 

No repairs have been needed, and I have added some value by finishing the basement and adding a privacy fence, and also buying the 6,000 sq ft vacant grass lot next door for $75.00 through the KC Side Lot Program through KC Land Bank.

We'd like to add a privacy fence around the back with dividers so each tenant has a private yard.

It will afford me the chance to learn, hands on, what it takes.We'd like to add a privacy fence around the back with dividers so each tenant has a private yard.

He currently is managing a similar property, and they had a GC create enough privacy to alleviate the feel of having strangers wondering around the property(doesn't allow the short term renters access to pool).

@Jim K. like I mentioned above we have an initial round of cleaning out the curb appeal and the privacy of the current tenants.

A third option, if you like having more privacy, is to find a SFH with a basement apartment or some sort of separate entrance to the basement that would allow you to rent that out.

It is a 3/1 in a nice neighborhood, 1025 sq/ft, great curb appeal, privacy fenced in back yard, and a roof leak. 

Tenants usually stay longer in single family homes because they have more sense of ownership and privacy.
