Should I stop thinking about who would rent the units and focus on the numbers?

This is a question for an attorney but my GUESS is that if there is an available unit, I would think a judge would say you could move into that other unit. 

I think some would work well for a Househacker, someone looking to BRRRR, and some are just buy and hold for cashflow plays.

I know if you call the agent sometimes they ask you what you think the damage will amount to and advise you against filing a claim if it is below your deductible but I don't know of any falling branch exclusion.   

What do you think will happen in your market?

I would attend with a goal of what you are trying to achieve, and a goal of where you think you can add value to the event. 

I think it depends on several factors. 1.

I have seen so many say a "furnace is going out" and think it's requires full replacement when after checking and testing, it was JUST a blower motor, and $400 later, vhullah, runs amazing. 

There are now a few website platforms where they list houses with assumable loans like Assumable (I think .io) and Roam.  

You can also get an idea of what people are getting paid for buyouts in SF on this webpage: http://sfrb.org/annual-buyout-reportsIf you already filed w/ the city and told them the dollar amount that you paid each tenant then I think it is too late, but if you only filed the first filing (which is just to let them know that you're having buyout discussions, that may still be an option).
