There were a couple issues found on the property and the seller has expressed a willingness in fixing those issues.

Current PFS and credit check usually tell me all I need to know. 

We've had only 5 vacant nights from then to present (May 2022) and our income ranges between $2500-3000+ a month which more than covers our mortgage.

I am hoping to house hack again either in the same town or one closer to where I work. 

Plus, keeping it as a rental helps you avoid any potential loan fraud issues—something worth considering based on your risk tolerance.The new house could be great for personal reasons, being closer to your parents, but with a higher rate and payment, the financials aren’t as sweet.

Their country reports are also excellent and usually free upon request.

They usually give up after spending over $100 and keep getting rejected.   

The TLDR is that if you can take the money you would have otherwise put in the property and invest it somewhere with higher returns then you could be better off doing it that way even if it means smaller or no monthly cashflow because money in your hand now is more valuable than the same money in the future.

@Aj Yorkjust to be blunt - out of state is tougher than advertised, and cash flow is difficult in any market, even supposed "lower cost" markets like KC. 

Building an ADU to fit all 3 of you might end up being more than $250k.
