I need to determine whether or not moving faster (by pulling from the 401k) offers greater benefits than patience and continuing to simply save the money needed for the initial investment.

What info do you ask for and how do you determine if it meets your criteria4.

There is too much missing info to determine what your options are because they will depending greatly on the original survey and current title policy.

Determining which cities are experiencing job growth, job diversification, rent growth and population growth can help provide some filters.

@Javaras ThomasBanks are going to look at debt service coverage ratio (DSCR) to determine how much they will lend to you, not ARV.

I've done it all, but I determine which marketing channel I use based on how much it costs to get a deal and the work involved.

But in all, sit down and list out the lifestyle you want to have in 5-10 years and determine your goals from that.

Determine what your goals are and find someone that has had success in those.

I plugged all the numbers into the Rental Property analyzer calculator, as modest as possible trying to determine what my unit would cost me after subtracting all other expansive, for example, 5% on Maintenance, vacancy, capital ex, and 11% management fees. that number is roughly $900 a month or $10,800 yearly that I would be responsible for. both scenarios look like this  A) Primary Resident: 69k (10% down + closing) +10,800 = 80k the first year VsB) Investment Property: 159k (25% down +closing) - $4704 ( $392 monthly cash flow) = $154,296 first year I feel that option A is the better option in year 1, but I can not figure out a true representation moving forward after the house hack is done and I replace myself with a tenet?

However, you will still need to do your due diligence to determine if they're the right lender for you.
