I'm relatively new to the real estate investing business and wanted to start out house hacking.

Unfortunately one of the issues was a major issue like fixing the kitchen hardwood floor which will take substantial time and money.

This will help identify any potential issues or maintenance needs.

Namely, transfer taxes based on the assessed property value (even if transferred for a $1) & presumably additional accountant fees related to basis. 

Before I get too far down the road with this, I'd appreciate any feedback on possible issues with Option 2 or alternative solutions.

However, the neighborhood has had serious safety issues in the past.

Is anyone able to give me the name of a good public adjuster in the area and a descent insurance company, having waited this long I feel that once the claim issues have been resolved it’s time to move from ASI.

In Nevada there is a required sellers disclosure of any issues past or present with the house.

One suggestion would be to allow a color choice for the population growth to be absolute (# change) or relative (% change).

During title search they discovered an old issue with title.
