You then stay in touch with them and at some point in time they may decide they do not wish to move back in.

Rarely, rarely, rarely will you be “pleasantly surprised”.

If someone picks up smoking but they weren't a smoker before, I may not evict them, instead give them 30 days notice, and if they don't leave by that point in time, then I would start the eviction.

FHA takes the rent for ALL units - even the unit you will not live in.    Times

Just depends on the #s and my goals and that point in time. 

Gives me one extra month to get the house ready (yard has moss everywhere now), only delays my move by one month, buys me even more room for error, and I'll move back into what is currently a rental but was a primary residence 3 years ago just in time for the PMI to fall off AND get the land tilled to start planting my garden for the spring/summer.

I love the location and quality of my condo (which makes it easy to find tenants) and that the househacking covers most of the cost, but if I could go back in time, I probably would have gone the SFH route.

If you are only looking at a fee of $3k and there is a dispute with who pays closing costs or additional holdings costs because one person can't close in time, there will be a very heated discussion when your fee is cut 30%+.
