It's difficult navigating the home purchase process in general, but a lot of more difficult buying something with costly surprises you didn't plan for. 

there are lots of options with you budget I invest in toledo where cost efficient properties are available in good areas More then willing to chat about it

Feel free to message me! 

Settled at $247,900, 3% closing cost credits, and the seller also put in about $3,000 for repairs.

I would get very close to breakeven, but you are still living for practically free (not counting repairs, maintenance, and management) while paying down the mortgage on a monthly basis.I have never purchased a new property to house hack, but I would run the numbers like any other investment property.

Is there a professional I can consult with on this?  

Quote from @Scott Morris: It appears as if he runs one of those programs where they hook you on a low/free cost training and then hit you non-stop with "upgrades", and "higher levels of coaching". 

Fourth, we wouldn’t need to take on debt to make the purchase and we’re comfortable with the costs and management of the place given our history with it.If we buy out the relatives, we would likely pay around $295,000, which we have available now.

Starting out if your house hack lowers your cost of living you are doing well.

Feel free to reach out anytime.Chabeli!
