Hello,My wife and I recently found a property that fits all of the things we are looking for, perfect location, price, rooms, etc. except for one problem: The previous owner was a smoker :( Does anyone have experience buying/renting out/living in a home previously owned by smokers?

Flips have done good not great, Air Bnbs are going good not great, and rentals all were brrrr'd perfectly but like most cash flow just enough to pay the bills and cover expenses.

A nice multi family property that you can do some light fixtures on sounds like a perfect strategy for you so you and your wife can have your own unit.

No one is perfect though in RE if your doing volume your going to have a few that are bummers but at least in our program there is control.. not this feeling of helplessness when you hand your money over to a syndicate and they go dark your totally out of control of your funds..

It should be pretty accurate - high level data sites are not always going to be perfect, but should always be directionally correct and AirDNA has a pretty strong track record. 

It's not perfect but it's a start and something for you both to look forward to as you continue building your life together.Some other questions to consider are:1.
