@Kelli VickreyWow, that's a big house, 4 beds and 3 baths.

Just do your soul-searching and try to figure out what will make you want to climb out of bed every day -- it cannot be just about the money. 

You'll also be more like 45 mins-1 hour away from NYU, if not more.Anything on the West side of Prospect Park north of Sunset Park is going to be unaffordable.There are 2 units in the low $1MM range in Flatbush or Bed Stuy or Bushwick (which are probably 45 mins-1 hr away from NYU on a good day) -- your monthly expense would be in the $5K range and you'd maybe get $2500 from the other unit.

It’s 4 beds and 1.5 baths with a potential of a full 2 baths and 1700 sq ft.

she said they ruined the flooring.okay so the house is a one story, 3 bed 1.5 bath it’s in the south so no basement.

Other perks/infoThe town will give heavy tax cuts due to my military service.The home has a one bed room apt which is in low demand but is located walking distance to the main street of a popular summer town so air BNB may be on the table.This house hack cashflows with me living there.Do you think this is a deal?

I would ask for pre-approval, negotiate, and then... ask for earnest money and put it where, under my bed?

It’s crazy cause when I first started househacking (mine is just 3 bed house, I have roomates) everything my roomates did bothered me lol... but I’m slowly learning to chill.

There are a lot of big old homes in my Baltimore neighborhood with 5+ beds and 2+ baths in the 80k-100k range (rehab quality).  

We decided while all these are great at building experiences, it does not build financial wealth so we decided a compromise would be to "downsize" our lives into a studio that we've separated out of a 3bd 2 bath SFR that we bought as an investment and rent out the 2 bed 1 bath.
