Heck, have him send you $50k for his half of that dream $100k vacation you plan to take next year.

I plan on doing the same deal again with the next owner-occupant loan.

We are preparing our house to turn it into a long term rental unit and plan to house hack a duplex or fourplex (along with our 4 kids 😜).

Would including a floor plan enhance its marketability? 

Will depend on several factors like the type of property, type of tenants, your risk tolerance, other assets you own, your estate planning, laws where the property is located, etc.

I plan on looking up things on meetup as well!

Lets keep in mind the sellers and buyers are not in real estate they simply dont understand the dynamics and I can just see a seller who now reads this new rule and will absolutly not pay the buyer agent and bow their back up big time.. 

It is all about intention, don't go into it without planning on living there. 

Our plan was to Airbnb it but decided to long term rent it.  

Even if they are investors maybe they’re got super sweet super secret STR income plans or house hacking by the room plans that generates much more income than your plan.
