We’re considering a new primary residence that has a large agricultural building on it.

What things do we need to consider for offering it as a storage? Most commonly in this area it would be for boats/campers.

Specific insurance?

Should we have a LLC for the rental business that "rents" from us the property owners?

Other things?

Newbie here.

We're looking at a property that has potential to be either a STR or LTR. It's been unable to sell because the original house was a single wide in the 70s that was then added on to.

This makes financing either difficult or very expensive for people (especially since it’s a low price point and mainly first time buyers).

We would be paying cash - so it’s not an issue for us. But even though we plan to hold the property the reality/risk of not being able to pull equity or sell easily later on without maybe a land contract is kind of concerning?

For the right price - would you still consider this situation?

Additional details: You would never know there was a single wide originally - the house is now 75% new/stickbuilt and all roof/siding is seamless between the OG trailer and “addition”. Even the inside is done well. There is also an acre lot and garage and the price point is well below any equivalent newer trailers or stick built homes of similar size in the area (probably 50% of their value).

Wow... Yikes. Just bad ideas.

Don't be one of those cheap flippers - do it the right way!

Live like no one else so that later you can live like no one else.

I just want to thank everyone AGAIN for all of these great responses!!!

I am thankful all of the "character qualities" are definitely already taken care of.
I think we have narrowed to 5 things main things to emphasize in our marketing.

Thank you thank you thank you!

Aww man I LOVE #7 in the first round. Very bold, clear. The cursive is girly and spa like. If I have to choose, #4 in round two is best.

It really depends on the style/feel I the house. 9 times out of 10 -- keep the brick. It's amazing how much you can change the room with painted walls/refreshed floor/etc. But once in awhile painted is best. Do you have a picture we can see? Maybe one of the fireplace and one showing the feel of the rest of the house?

No personal experience with vinyl plank but I strongly disagree with the "flooring lady" about engineered hardwood... Yuck Real hardwood is the way to go IF you're spending the price.
