I found a nice 4 bed 2 bath but I think I might need to do a bit more convincing for the house hacking life style.

@Bret Gillespie, we use the Zen Bamboo 1800 Series Luxury Bed Sheets from Amazon with the Luxe Bedding 3-Piece Oversized Quilted Bedspread Coverlet Set also from Amazon!

It is a duplex with 4 beds and 2 baths in each unit.

My wife is a home and bedding designer by day, and a photographer on the weekends. 

The listing calls the house a 3/1 but you're using comps for a 4 to 5 bed with 2 to 3 bath homes.

Purchase price: $264,000 Cash invested: $15,000 Updated 3 bed 1 bath home.

Purchase price: $338,000 Cash invested: $20,000 Updated 3 bed 1.5 bath What made you interested in investing in this type of deal?

More or less all zillow's algorithm takes into account is location, sq ft, year built, bed & bath counts correct?

I've had years, I could only find 1 deal worth buying in the whole 12 months and this year, I bought 2 properties in January.I just bought a duplex where each unit was a 2 bed/1 bath and the sq footage was over 1250/unit.
