This makes no sense, since my home is a single family and does not have a separate entrance.

Now if it was a 4 bed and you would be making it into a 3 bed,  I would say that likely makes sense. 3 bedroom homes seem to be the smallest that families will consider and is usually what homeowners want.

Currently I prefer the south west side of Houston (energy corridor, Beltway and Westpark area, 610, but am open to other deals as long as they make sense.

Do my numbers make sense (from 260k to 265k) based on the financing options and the seller's motivations?

I guess I'm partially thinking of that "estimated repairs" field as "cash out of pocket" and I'm curious if cash out of pocket and cash flow to pay for things effects the cash on cash return differently.I hope these questions make sense.

Hey @Robert Saunders, that does make a bit more sense.

As much as I want to house hack in a four-plex, it would not make sense for us because it does not align with our deepest needs and desires.I definitely see the benefits of house hacking first, I was just curious what your thoughts were on skipping this step so I don't get caught up in this space and never end up moving on to what really interests me.

@Kyle Baron it would make sense to me to see when most sales take place in your area. 

However, there's no sense in getting angry about what I think is right, at this point I just need to make sure that I am properly represented by ANOTHER professional that I am trusting to do a professional job.
