Hello, what are home stagers charging you these days? In my area I'm being quoted roughly $1.20-$1.35/sqft. 

Hello, I've been reading about flippers who have multiple flips going on at once. I invest out of state and at this rate I can only have 2-3 flips/year using a HML. HML is expensive and I do not prefer to get into a partnership for additional capital until I have a lot more flip experience under my belt.

Any seasoned investors out there care to share their advice on how I can scale? Thank you for taking your time to read and comment on this post!

Is there a way you can draw a layout.  Is the entire 4th wall in that bedroom shared by the bathroom? and is there a linen closet or something in the bathroom that could be used as an entry to the bedroom?

  correct about the 4th wall. And no to the linen closet placement. The closet is on the opposite side of said 4th wall. 

 And that 4th wall in the bathroom has what on it?  Trying to figure out if there is a way you can add a doorway to the bedroom that doesn't require going through the bathroom, even it means adding a new doorway to the bathroom.  What is on the other side of the stairwell (I'm guessing another bedroom)?

toilet, sink, shower lol

Can you add an exterior door to the room only accessible through the bathroom?

Make that room a closet or just be very clear in describing the layout with pictures and a diagram to prevent negative reviews.

Maybe market it as a 2 Bedroom with bonus sleeping area?

Could you do an addition to add a simple hallway that goes around the bathroom to access the back room?

Just spitballing ideas.

The hallway idea is something I’ll give more thought to. Thanks!

Hello, I recently purchased a 3/1 SFH which I plan to fix up and use as a STR. However, one of the bedrooms is only accessible through the bathroom. To make it worse, the other side of 2 of the 4 walls is the exterior of the home (windows on each of the 2 walls). The other side of the 3rd wall is the drop of the stairwell so there's nothing on other side of that wall if I were to open it up. What are some ideas on how to either reno or configure this space so that it can bring max value for a STR? Obviously more rooms=more occupancy=higher nightly rate. The bathroom is a nice size already so extending the bathroom out into that awkwardly placed bedroom would be overkill in my opinion. TIA

Hello, I am looking for boots on the ground as needed, for a property in Barberton, OH. 

 What do you need ? How many properties do you have there ? 

Sorry for the delayed response, but I am covered for now-my realtor introduced me to BOTG personnel! Also, I am currently working on my first BRRRR in Barberton. I would be interested in hearing about any reliable PM companies that service the Barberton area as I will be needing one early next year.
