I totally can see their perspective on it.

My comment about pricing being on the high side also has to do that most of my business is in the $300,000 range and up so I know I have a different perspective.

That way, you're covered from a liability perspective. 

Hope it helps:Looking at it from a monthly perspective- Our scenario is one in which we're buying an SFR that's RH2 zoned with the plan to renovate the downstairs, live in it and rent the upper unit.

So I advise you request an application, run credit and treat them like any other perspective tenant to ensure they qualify and you want them as a tenant.  

I appreciate the perspective though.

@Dan Heuschele I would really have to blend the two perspectives between you and Ali because yes appreciation in the long run will make your net worth grow, but in the short run you don't get to take that appreciation to the bank each month and rent is not increasing by 20% each year like home prices are (maybe 5%).

looking at these homes puts me in a different perspective.

Then come back on the market fresh.

An opportunity arose to make more money for less aggravation in the fresh air.
