I foreclosed on the other 3, one is going to be a flip.It is quiet often with no properties on auction( redeem at the last minute); except land. 

Agreed on all except the LI. 

Multiple offers are now the rare exception, not the norm.

Hi Stetson,I own a STR in Flathead County that performs exceptionally well.  

Maybe it's best for me to test things this fall and winter and offer, as @Chris Watson suggests, a 7 day min with no mandatory check in/out days (except Saturdays) and see what people generally prefer...Thanks everyone for all the feedback!

I’ve noticed, like you said, that everyone seems to do things a little differently when it comes to house hacking, and analyzing deals is no exception.

Most of the horror stories I know of are either because (1) it was during the pandemic and tenants were taking advantage of it or (2) an exception was made on the vetting process when it shouldn't have been overlooked. 

That typically isn't allowed for a non RE pro (with exceptions/limitations).

(except not firing the PM sooner, oh well..)I also was thinking like you originally, that I would just keep putting 20% down on each, but each purchase taught me a new thing, and each opportunity presented itself at the time and I had to be open to creative ways to purchase, since not every property will be a perfect fit for traditional financing. 

I would still be a customer today except for the Florida Texting Law.
