I took a lot of heat in several online forums for my asking price.... and in the end Ive got two great tenants that are respecting our properties, paying rent (on time too), have JOBS, and a credit profile that indicates they will actually be able to afford AND continue to PAY.It takes time - dropping your price will open the doors to more marginal candidates... screen as usual (consistent too).

Seller gets to enjoy their retirement.We get to continue our daily routine as usual, no moving, no nothing.Next is to utilize the equity as a down payment for the next MFH property, hopefully merge another equity partner together to expand the opportunity for my next deal.

This interior change forced us to consider the short term rental market and how it could actually be a desirable feature for this market where a group may be interested in renting both sides like adjoining hotel rooms.Our total cash into the renovations was extensive ($95,000). 

You'll want these features, if you decide to sell the property.

At the moment it seems the best thing for me to do is to continue to talk to people for advice and information.  

I am looking to continue growing my education and network to put together my next deal in 2019. 

I was wondering how would you continue to house hack after house hack with low money down?

I feel like I could be pretty resilient from investing in the stock market for a few years but I guess I will never know if a bad deal would permanently scare me off or not since I've never owned a home before.Do you think rather than finding an amazing deal it would suffice for now simply to find something that could reduce what I would be spending on rent somewhere and then continue to search for good deals?

If someone loses their job and is not able to continue to make payments while under the lease option, how do you remove them from the property?

In the worst case, this extra money should buy me enough time to continue to pay the mortgage on time as I evict that person if they stop paying the rent and allow me to re-“rent to own” the property or rehab and sell it.
