i often wonder if topics like this actually help contribute to a downward sentiment.

Meanwhile Local helps your later sentiments of increasing the desirability of the neighborhoods that you share with the homeowner.

Hi @Jacob Emens - I agree with the sentiment shared by @John Barrett.One of the things I coach my house hacking clients on is to evaluate the property in two ways: (1) Do the numbers work while you are living there? 

Sometimes there's more to life than just finances - it appears there's a sentimental reason for looking at this house - but purely based on finances this property doesn't make any sense.

I share @Jeff Schechter 's sentiments: All of us at HRRE are very glad that we were able to assist you in getting your portfolio stabilized and performing.We wish you continued success in your investing efforts.

I agree with a lot of the sentiments regarding risk as it makes sense that with 2,3-4,12 tenants you can afford a little vacancy from time to time easier.One thing I haven't seen mentioned that also makes sense to me is the valuation of properties if you go truly commercial in that the value is based on actual income generated similar to any other business as opposed to what your neighbor sold for.
