Yeah they'll write the listing (probably poorly) and hire the photographer, but as far as I know they're not going to order a couch and assemble a dining table and stock the kitchen and all that jazz so you've gotta do that either way.FWIW if you're really intent in not traveling to set it up, I did hire someone to do that part for me in one of my properties where some family health issues came up and I really couldn't get away for a week. 

My questionis, in someones professional opinion, whatshould I bring to the table in terms of knowledgeor questioning?

Anything and everything is on the table! 

Hi Fam,  I finally made a profile after listening to so many podcasts and I have a question that I can’t seem to find the answer to.

Finally, my wife and I decided on house hacking as the best opportunity to get started since we decided to move from one state to another. 

@D MackHi Mack, you will need to send copies of all your lease and option documents to the title company in addition to a Purchase and Sale Agreement which will capture the final sale price agreed by the parties and a closing date. 

If I can get that much cash off the table and into a bigger/better investment then I will do it in a second. 

The final step would be to dissolve the agreement since they were most likely in breach of contract.

If you're offer is accepted you have at least 2 opportunities to see all units before closing, during your: (1) inspection, and (2) final walkthrough right before close.  

Finally, how should I think about financing/equity/cashflow factors specific to SFR's?
