Using property management doesn’t totally get you out of managing the property, as you then have to manage the property manager (as counter-intuitive as that may sound.)Randy 

I tend to let numbers be my first data point and then my intuition.

This home had the perfect layout for a house-hacking situation.

Hi @Edlyn Gonzales In my opinion, at that point I think you have to use your best judgment and intuition.  

Other than adding a bath, bedroom, or creating a better layout that's where you get the best bang for your $$. 

Feel free to make suggestions that make things easier, better, or generally improve things.MATERIALS:- Floor tile: already purchased (and layout, long edge running from front to back of house).- Wall color: light gray, satin gloss- Trim color: natural white, semi gloss- Trim type: 6" baseboard- Counter: Quartz, eased edge (https://www.lowes.com/l/quartz-countertops.html), $44sqft "A" class, gray--forget the name, or the beige (Tina really needs to go the Lowes and look at all pieces together.- Backsplash: Picked out already.

Is the navigation intuitive for YOU.   

(New cabinets, new appliances, redesigned kitchen layout, refinished hardwood floors, some drywall replacement, all new paint, etc.)

It's a shame too because I really like the location and the layout for the house hacking strategy I was planning.

Lay out a potential strategy, execute and see how you feel/review the data after a few months.
