Debated taking the risk of making some improvements while I'm in it....flooring, paint, etc. and trying to house hack it, but didn't think the margin was there.  

It still needs an exterior paint job, updated master bathroom, possibly a roof, at least one AC unit replaced, landscaping, and potentially all new windows within a couple years.

Thank you BiggerPockets for all the advice and tips along the way!

After a couple of walk throughs, I determined that the house would need all new flooring along with paint to make it rent ready.

Be sure to talk to them about 3% down conventional loans, because FHA loans are notoriously difficult, and sellers will prefer a conventional over an FHA, because the FHA appraisal requires the seller to fix little things like peeling paint, broken window panes, loose handrails, etc. while conventionals typically do not.Some borrowers are approved for a higher loan amount through FHA than conventional, but I believe the MIP is generally higher.Also, this is something your agent should be helping you with.
