Started renting it out in Summer of '24 when I first moved!

Ryan, renting a place in PR to learn the market better sounds like a good idea.   

Buying a large new build home can also work well as a house hack as you can charge a premium rent, and generally most bedrooms built now a days have en suites (at least in my market).  

They are trying to rent a house they do not own. 

Their pro formas felt optimistic with providing 6% annual appreciation and property management that is only about 6% of rent so I take it with a grain of salt (they offer their own property management services but it has terrible reviews on Yelp so I would probably go with someone else). 

Purchase price: $350,000 Cash invested: $10,000 House hacking my first home by converting the master bed into an independent studio that we rent on Airbnb What made you interested in investing in this type of deal?

When evaluating a property management company, it's important to look beyond just the management fee and consider the full scope of services and costs involved.For example, at our company, we charge a 10% monthly management fee, a $250 lease renewal fee (unless it’s a takeover tenant, which requires additional effort to establish a strong relationship - because usually people are changing pm companies for a reason), and the first month’s rent as a leasing fee.

And they’ve cost me alone well over $30k in damages and lost rent thanks to their complete negligence.
