MTR design opinion

Benjamin Sures
Posted

My wife and I picked up a multifamily unit in LA County (Monrovia).  We plan on modifying our rental strategy by having one unit be a LTR, that is currently occupied and the back unit as an MTR.

The MTR is a second story, cute and quaint.  2br/1ba, nice size bedrooms, smaller bathroom but fully functional.   Galley style kitchen and separate laundry room.   Living room is snug and there is no room for a dining room and living room.   Even within the kitchen a dining table is not a real option.  I'm trying to think minimalistic European furniture options for a solution to a dining table. 

I was hoping to get peoples opinions of how to approach this lack of eating space in lieu of everything else about this unit being perfect for MTR.  We decided to go with a nice comfy living room as this was what we felt would be a priority for tenants. 

Thoughts and opinions are needed.

Don't go with IKEA furniture, it breaks easily. If you want to save money, have a truck, and free time then go on FB marketplace. Otherwise, go to a big box furniture store that has items in stock and quick deliveries. Consider getting a professional stager to help. Get professional pictures.
