Single family rental property layout advice
Hey, I'm new here too bigger pockets. I've been listening to the podcast for quite some time and figured it was time.I reach out and ask for some advice. I have a 1bed,1bath single family home that I am currently renovating. I'll be keeping this as a long term rental property. My question is, the house is just a little over a 1000 square feet. I want to convert the garage into a bedroom. As it is realistically too small for a garage anyway. If I split it into two bedrooms, both bedrooms would be roughly 82 sqft. With small closets for each. I will be able to convert the old laundry room into another bathroom. As well, this would ultimately give me a three bed two bath. I'm just curious if 82 square feet is too small for a bedroom. Code only requires 70sqft, but that seems very small. Would you guys roll with 2 bedrooms At 82sqft a piece, or just make it one large bedroom.
