If she won't go down in price, then have her pay some of your closing because it appears you are paying market price according to the auditor's site.Also, your rent should go up with up with that much repair.  

Rental rates appear to have been stagnant in my area, I rented for 1450 in 2015 and it appears I would at most get 1500 now.  

I'm very interested in house hacking a multifamily, but so far there don't appear to be a whole lot of multi families in this area.  

Current rents are about $6500 a month total and it appears market rents are closer to $7300.

This will help you keep things organized and make accounting much easier in the future (like during tax time). 

I am super stoked to have the opportunity to jump in on the CIE as it is first implemented, information availability will make it easier for investors to make the jump to commercial. 

The cost per unit would probably cheaper and the process easier. 

Dear BP community,I am screening a section 8 tenant, who otherwise appears OK (not considering the fact that she will be paying 50% of her rent).

The reason being is if you want to be there on a weekly basis cleaning up or repairing something then it will work but if you want an 'easier' life it probably isn't what you want, that is unfortunately the downside with a class C property you also get class C tenants...

Will really set the stage and make it easier for you to continue moving forward.
