Keep in mind that my plan for my first property is to find a property that has a guest house of some sort detached from the main property.

Comps have been an issue however, I buy to hold so my main focus has been rent per SF and vacancy rates.

This is one of the main reasons that I personally will not own any properties out right in the near future. 

If it's purpose is for an investment, your downpayment size might be dependent on what the owner to renter ratio is. 

John correct, the marketing budget would be allocated towards filling the pipeline with leads for the purpose of closing more deals.

The main place i go to is Zillow but there isn't any telling if any property that's fsbo is the actual owner ready to sell unless its a Realitor that has the property, if it matters.

So I'm trying to get qualified for a mortgage but the main source of income is our short term rental property that we have only had since March but we have made a lot of money on it..hence the $$ for another property!

If you were selling it, I would probably do vinyl plank in main areas and carpet in the bedrooms.

To your question, I'm of the mindset you should analyze house hacking investments as though it was a straight rental investment to determine if it's a good deal or not, main criteria being return on investment and whether it cashflows.

Hey @Hadar Orkibi,I am looking for Passive Investment Properties, mainly rentals.I am hoping for $100 a door if possible.I ran through the calculator and it does not cash flow at all with the current price. $450k seems like it will work but need to convince him to drop his price that low.
