Have you tested the market yet with this set up? 

4. is turning it into a rental property sensible given that it's been on the market for 4 months now with little action?

My name is Tomer, and I'm a real estate investor who is relatively new to the Pittsburgh market.

When investing in an off-market deal, is it better to purchase properties vacant or is it still a good idea to purchase a property even with paying tenants inside of it? 

I’ve researched the rental market here and it’s pretty good.

In my market having a washer and dryer in the building or even better in the unit is worth $100+ per month in rent.

MY SUGGESTION: invest in yourself by buying hard copy books and training on the foundation topics you wish to develop skills (RE legal, title, escrow, financing, notes, etc.).

This is of course market driven.

However, it’s time we start recognizing them for what they truly are: an affordable housing option for those who want to live independently on a budget.Rooming houses provide a vital solution in today's housing market, offering flexibility and affordability.

Hi AshekI am not an expert in the SE Florida market, but I am very up on the Gulf Coast markets.
