Adding a Shed?

[Andrew Rellinger]

I am currently under contract for my first property. The property is 988 sqft. 3 bed 1 bath SFH on a crawl space and has no garage. The yard is large so I will be installing a shed so once I move out I can have tenants take care of the yard work. My question is what size she'd should I put in? If I put in a larger size shed (10'x10') could I fence off half of it inside to dedicate to storage space for the tenants to rent out and get additional rents on? Or should I get a smaller shed just for the purpose of storing lawn maintenance equipment and tools?

I will be living in the property for a year and intend to househack by renting out rooms before converting to a full time rental.

@Andrew Rellinger In my town there is a cost requirement that likely would effect permitting of the shed but also you would have to comply with setback requirements. So check your local zoning laws because even if you only put down patio pavers to level the shed it is a lot more trouble after the fact to move everything if the town comes in because you put it in the wrong spot.
