Some will say it's financial suicide to not do it.I'm not going to go into all the details.

I really appreciate the detailed insights you shared—it gives me a lot to think about. 

Based upon the details you have, there could be potential questions from an UW on the purchase of the quadplex as to why you would be making the change from the current primary to the quadplex and from the brief information you've provided there are could be a lot of reasons why.

If I am spending 75k or greater on renovations I want to make sure that I have plans and specifications detailing the quality of the materials and the fixtures.

Each state can be a little different so the details matter. https://www.omglawfirm.com/arkansas-probate-intestate-succes...Here is the pertinent excerpt:If you don’t have a Will, the default order of descent goes like this: (1) full blood and adopted children of the decedent, subject to any dower, curtesy, and homestead interest of a spouse; (2) if no full blood or adopted children, then everything to a spouse of greater than three years or half of everything plus dower, curtesy, and homestead to a spouse of less than three years and the other half of everything to other heirs (per this table); (3) to the decedent’s parents or surviving siblings; (4) to the decedent’s grandparents or surviving aunts, uncles, cousins, etc.; (5) to the decedent’s great-grandparents or surviving great aunts, great uncles, etc.; (6) if none of those intermediate descendents are alive the remaining half can go to the spouse of less than three years or to a predeceased spouse’s heirs; (7) finally, if none of these apply, all the property escheats to the county where the decedent died.

Hey Chris, Let's connect and discuss this in more detail.

I have been able to find deals in the current market using the BP calculator that fit my buy box, but when I see that homes in that area are estimated to be ~30% overpriced and am watching in real time prices drop it leaves me unsure what to do.

I think this is the gift and the curse of a still emerging asset class (short term rentals) - as it becomes more "institutional" i.e. more like commercial real estate with more sophisticated buyers then financials and systems for this will likely become more streamlined and stable, but we are still in a place where the buyer pools are more newish investors or typically residential basic investors, so not has experienced or sophisticated evaluating investments based on a detailed financial analysis like more seasoned commercial investors likely would.anyways, just a guess on what might be going on here
