If its something major like termites then of course it should be your responsibility but normal every day pests is theirs to address. 

I pass by this house everyday and I know there was someone living there by the car parked outside.

Overall the house hacking achieves effectively living for break even or less than rent and getting you into a market you normally couldn't afford the downpayment on.

I normally find properties close to the 1% once stabalized.More or less, I recommend targeting tertiary markets that are 45 min to an hour outside of Boston with a large concentration of multifamily. 

how do you landlords normally send lease non-renewals to your tenants?

The unit is in an “A” location but we don’t love the layout and it is on a very small lot with a minimal yard and one car garage. 

@Bryan Galaz the purpose of a HELOC is to use that money to invest, but you must be disciplined with putting the money back and not spending it on a vacation or expensive car. 

You know by seeing, things that will distress you, that the agent may think is normal.

Keep the units but turn over to a management company 8% off the top plus roughly double my normal repair budget. 

What you would normally repair on one house, another house same repairs the owner flips out and cries you're spending their money.When we get tenants who get carried away with repair requests (like 1-2 a month is ridiculous IMO) we usually get on the phone with them, level with them and then tell them we can find a replacement in that apartment since they feel its so bad.
