At a young age and favorable market hands down this is what I would do.

It sounds like you're enamored with the idea of house hacking with multi family... but at your age/income level, house hacking should be done on a much smaller scale like buying a 2 or 3 bedroom condo, and having roommates pay you rent, which will then reduce your monthly mortgage payment.Once you do that long enough to save more money (and with hopefully appreciation working in your favor), then you can trade up and house hack 2-4 units... then go even further up from there.I understand having roommates isn't as glamorous as owning  duplex and having your own unit for privacy reasons... but that's probably what you'll be able to afford at best at this time if you are dead set on "not waiting" for a downturn.

My real estate agent is informing me that one option is to go through with inspection and then negotiate the sales price down with the seller due to the roofs age (and need for home owners insurance which will most likely require a new roof).

I have no expertise, but speaking from my viewpoint your age group matters a lot. 

Now that I've been on the site for over 2 years, and had 2 more kids, I'm sure I've aged enough to not be looked down upon.

I have the details about the year, the county, the charge, and the age of the victim.

And this doesn’t even consider the cost of aging populations and unfunded cost of caring for the elderly, which drive the numbers north of 600% of GDP, or close to $100T in the U.S., which is $1 million per household.

That said, many people certainly understand the importace of building your personal brand in this day and age; this goes far beyond ego to getting actual business.We refer the press to our bloggers.

Also some jurisdictions have good GIS (Geographic Information Systems) which may have varying amounts of data, from none to tons; that said, the GIS is a good verification tool, often to include owner info, as do the tax sites.

It also has surprised me with the WIDE range of members in age, knowledge and experience.
