Create & define your Buy Box and then find properties that fit.Make offers that make your numbers work, not the asking price.

Make a lower offer that reflects more than the additional cost of that problem.

I imagine there are a lot of 3/2 that probably sleep 8-10 and if you can offer a slightly larger bed count and a cool game room/theme room you can differentiate yourself a bit from your competition and get some extra revenue through slightly higher rate (extra person fees, etc) as well as an overall higher occupancy.
