But you also SHOULD have some vacancy and some capex on an 80 year old house. 

You could also consider an open house showing. 2-3 hours on a weekend may allow a number of the people who have called and are interested in the property, to come in and all have a look as their time allows.

@Sebastian AlborsIn my experience, buying a single-family home (SFH) in Asheville and house hacking with a family member like your brother can be a smart way to balance costs.

My plan is to buy the house subject to their existing mortgage, renovate the property, refinance it and pay off their remaining loan balance using the money from the cash out refinance.

For example, at the start, do you confirm if all persons in the house are aware of your presence, and do you ask if it is OK for you to open bedroom, bathroom and closet doors?

And, we'll probably want to buy another house before then. 

No taxes, she got to keep the house and no stress about income.

So the line is a shared private line between the 8 houses. 

So I have a house I am going to be selling in a couple weeks, but I’m confused about what the agents are saying.
