In any event, I would recommend option #2 since most house hackers will ultimately want to hold the property as long term investment and prioritize returns over comfort. 

If a business, ask how they will prioritize you if you need something done immediately. 4.

I don't have a degree, and in hindsight, I would be better off now if I had chosen to prioritize a decent paying job, with or without a degree, to help afford investing earlier/faster than my chosen fun but relatively low-paying field.

We'd be happy to collaborate with another local partner on any buy and hold multi-family deals or partnerships we find.

The original owner definitely prioritized the main loving space size over the bedroom/bathroom.I have read through the new/updated rules about permitting Unpermitted ADUs, but not quite sure how the ideal sequence would go if we also want to expand it.

However, I still believe you are missing the main point I was trying to get across which was where to prioritize your time and effort.

I would suggest you try to view the listing agent as someone you can work with collaboratively to get your buyer to a deal.

You'll also be able to do better analysis by prioritizing the items on your list at each level.

Hit me up if you want to chat, exchange ideas or want to collaborate on projects! 

Still, some of the factors I prioritized are the price-to-rent ratio and decent location with the potential for future appreciation in property value.
