I do not know the numbers of the house, but I do not like the circumstances.  

The existing good STR owners get a priority.  

I found the owners information and am planning on reaching out.

I live in CA so the housing market here is out of my price range and I'm looking to get a property where I'm going to school, I was looking into Logan UT.

I am located in the north shore area of MA and got my two duplexes through house hacking but always will to share my experiences! 

All roomates are responsible for the total rent unless you rent by the room for a rooming house.

Same reason why an agent may push a seller into accepting $10k less on an offer, it gets the house sold and the difference is only $300 to them (based on 3% commission), whereas it's $9,700 to the seller. 

The first one is a 3 bedroom 1 bath house on 1.67 acres.

Have you considered house hacking? 

Podcasters that does house walk throughs will sometimes say, "if this Floorplan isn't available in your city/state"  blah blah blah.
