I have looked through many of the house hacking related articles, but I havent seen anybody mention if they make a calculation adjustment for if you are house hacking.What I was looking for would be something in the rental property calculator that also takes into account the rent you are currently paying before you move into the multi-family you are about to purchase.For a little background on my situation, I am looking to buy in the Denver area near a light rail station.

This will bring more light into the room.

Sooner or later a municipality cannot pay for lights, road repair, even fire if there are not enough people paying into the system.  

We sanded and re-stained our floors and used Minwax 'Provincial'...We were torn whether to go with a light stain or a dark stain, so we met in the middle...

Depending on how hard the tenant is on the floors a light sanding is all that's needed to make ready for the next move in.

I can tell you, just starting in commercial appraisal, you will be doing all the basic research for the subject property, comp research, pulling demographic data, macro/micro market research, light report writing, and maybe site visit help so bring this up to them that you wish to do this for them until you are ready to write reports.

Opened the space and let more light in.  

They worked great in light rain, but during heavy rains, not all of the water could get into the little holes in the leaf guards. 

Its not something to take lightly.

@Ben Leybovich  not to get totally off topic but I love the opening scene in his office where he sells the building and the money boys light up a cigar and cheer and then he looks at them and says" I hope your still smiling when you explain to the board that you paid 25 million more than the next highest offer"  classic
