I'm speaking of co-living in a typical A or B level neighborhood house, so instead of a 20-25% down payment, we are speaking of a 1-5% down payment. 

Purchase price: $580,000 Cash invested: $30,000 House Hack #1

The first agent is absolutely certain the house will sell in the high 400’s.

I see that you recommend NOT having my mom deed the house over to me in order to borrow against it.

You can use this property to hedge any others that you add that may only cover themselves, or require supplement until they are paid off.HOWEVER, if you have decided that your goal is to use Real Estate as a stepping stone to build wealth by upgrading the property you hold each time (condo to house, house to 4-plex, 4-plex to 8 unit, etc) then I think you are right to sell now while you think the property is at the top of it's appreciation.It will be hard for anyone on BP to tell you what to do as we don't know your goal.You are right. 

Quote from @Jeff Calcaterra: We have a potential tenant new to the area who has gone through a paid background check, signed a background check authorization form, sent us a LinkedIn profile, sent an offer letter and says he is willing to send us paycheck stubs, but says he doesn't want us to call HR to verify employment because he is supposed to have found housing already.

AE zoning may possibly reduce your buyer pool, but if comps show strong demand and the house stayed dry and didn't flood during Hurricane Milton, that’s a good sign.

It is currently my primary residence and was a great house hack but I’m now considering moving out to live with my girlfriend nearby in her condo.

Same with houses and the MLS.
