Generally there are multiple units for each "zone" if you will when I've seen them installed.Regarding your problem at hand, I personally would simply adjust your plan to move and make your initial plan to get the current issues resolved, while costly now, in the long run holding onto the unit will likely pay off. 

However, this isn’t a sign of a long-term shift—it's a temporary adjustment influenced by a unique set of factors.The good news?

This is not personal, but if a person cannot save money now real estate is the worst investment to get into as it is one of the most cost intensive businesses to be in.  

Today, she’s cash flowing $400/month per unit, thanks to strategic updates and rent adjustments.

It is quite the adjustment, but I LOVE IT HERE. 

Telling a man that could be your grandfather that he is no longer needed is very intense.

I assumed some would need replaced, which would be okay, but I would hate to see it all trashed.I guess in that vein though, I hear that a lot about LTRs -- the horror stories -- and we have been blessed with amazing tenants (generally) so I was thinking it would be along the same line where it would be something where you would want to charge high-end and screen intensely to try to get a tenant that just is transitioning and can benefit from the furnishings.I know that could still happen though, even with all the precautions you can take, so it's something good to consider! 

If they are adjusting the amount they can lend because the margins are too thin or telling you the deal metrics are not checking out it is likely due to the expected earnings not being sufficient. 

Then adjust based on both your and their view of the world.  

If it's not feasible due to circumstances I suppose I'll have to adjust my situation (find weekend job, move back to NJ with parents, move to a different state with, etc.)All responses are appreciated, and I am absolutely open to chatting on the phone by the way.My view on house hacking is it can be a great tool to buy a house you could not  otherwise afford, but it shouldn’t be a goal in it of itself if that makes sense and that’s not to discourage you from investing just there are alternatives such as the stock market. so I’d start by asking where you want to live, do you want to own a single family home or does it make more sense to rent in a more interesting neighborhood like Arlington, Alexandria, that’s gonna be a personal choice, Will your monthly payment actually be less than renting/how many people do you need to get in the house to afford that?
