No if potential buyer have given you emd than you are under the assumption this is a serious buyer and will close on the deal but he has only a certain amount of time with his inspection period so if he backs out you still have time to fund another buyer. 

In terms of maintenance, they are generally safer because you are not responsible for the exterior and common areas and potential leaks, etc.

I will be living in the guest house, while renting out the main.Both units are without washer and dryer units, my question is, do I supply them in the main house; or let potential tenants figure that one out?

With so many companies like Intel, Meta, Amazon, etc. moving and developing here, the population and job market are growing so rental demand and appreciation potential are strong. 

I’m reaching out with an investment opportunity in a real estate flip project, and I’m currently seeking a limited partner to join me.With a strong track record of successful real estate investments, I am looking to partner with someone who shares an interest in capitalizing on the potential of this market.

@Curtis Cutler Avoid cashing out your 401(k)/457 to minimize taxes and penalties, potentially up to 40%.

Also makes it look professional when a potential renter comes to look at it.

i know you're busy from your profile but maybe you make it your mission to look at several dozen potential house hacks over the next year. 

It's helpful to other potential buyers. 

Additionally, the price point is still cheap enough to find the 1% rule and positive cash flow and there's amazing appreciation potential.
