Luckily 2 got back to us and 1 of them was ready to sell but emotionally was struggling to make the commitment.

@Dave Foster This is good food for thought and would open up a lot of possibilities. 

Keep emotions out of it. 

No it's your friends boomer parents giving the downpayment to your Gen Z/millennial friend to buy that house to their newlywed son with their new daughter in law/wife being emotional and running up the price because it's a "dream" house.

But in regards to your feelings & emotions, have at it homie.

It's hard not to be emotional when house hacking becasue you're living there but think about other factors for you too, not just the cost.

In our multifamily ventures, we’ve noticed most buyers we work with don't act on emotion & are quick decision-makers; When a deal makes sense, they move fast. 

Quote from @Evan Polaski: @Anastasia Foster, a flipping fund is very hard to pull off, so I would be very cautious and dive deep into their operations before being overly intrigued promoted returns.  

- As it concerns this property, will you able to make pragmatic decisions based on facts and less on emotion (ie FOMO, worry of evictions etc)? 

I am also a remotely managing 12 of my own Section 8 units in Iowa so know the rollercoaster of emotions of to hire or not.
