I was also thinking a MF house hack would probably be a pretty good option to start, however the high cost of our market might make that a real challenge.

@Steven Bates The rate you are being quoted is pretty spot on now.

The area is up and coming and it looks as if it is set up better to be turned into a commercial property due to all the new stores in area and I do not see any residential homes in a 2 mi radius of the property, there are homes around but they are pretty far apart.

The pantry is a cupboard on the reverse wall of the kitchen, so you have to leave the kitchen and walk into the hall to access it.If you are accessing the house from the actual front door, it's a pretty standard entry.

Yes, it’s pretty easy

The only time I've used it is when I was pretty sure the tenant had already abandoned the property and just left all their stuff behind.

Pretty cool numbers!

And it's in the SoCal market, which is pretty strong right now, should we need to unload as a last-ditch exit strategy.

@Josh Oaten   A Short sale is pretty much a normal purchase for a buyer - other than it usually takes some extra time to get offers accepted.  

That is a pretty good question and I hope you get several answers that will help you.
