The reviews will tell the story. 

@Daniel Hernandez, thank you for sharing your story and welcome to BP

The story sounds appealing, house hacking with someone who won't be around much and somewhat makes sense for a truck driver as it is cheaper than a hotel. 

we need a podcast dedicated to Mark’s craziest stories

@Peter Eberhardt this is an awesome and inspiring story.

Any stories you could share? 

@Lee Ripma Thanks for the inspiration.

All of this was explained to them with my offer which is another reason why they took it.Moral of my story, although you appear to have hit a triple on this one (great job again), I think you may have been able to come in slightly less on your offer with said explanation to see if you could have gained more cushion in your spread at purchase.

Now, if market rent is $1600 we've got a different story. 

I feel like I've read too many stories of out of town investors jumping on what they thought was a good deal only to struggle through a tough rehab or even through bad property management.
