I have had a couple of opportunities to market similar properties time on the market, desirability etc and having a sharp property with decent ceiling fans helps.I think it depends some on the property and the target audience as I have investors with lower priced multi-units with no fans on purpose that work out very well. 

If you can come out with $10,000 - $15,000 in cash, after-tax, in you bank account, BEYOND the amount that you will be putting down on the property (the 3.5% down PLUS $10K cushion), you are probably getting to the point where you can make a house-hack purchase where the risk/reward is in your favor. 

But still preserve the tax deferral of the 1031 exchange.

This in part will depend on how good the deal is and what they other parteies other options are.
