Post: Would you remodel a 600 sq ft shed in your backyard?

That’s a whole bunch of questions and most could be answered with more research. I live in what you described, I just completed one that I rent and I’m working to get another one ready for Airbnb. I’m not an attorney and don’t give legal advise, but I will say that sometimes it’s better to ask forgiveness, than to ask permission. 600 sq is to small for a two bedroom. In my opinion and experience, it requires at least 800 sq for a 2bd. I would look for a handyman to assist you, you can get referrals at hardware stores. It’s late and I don’t remember your other questions. But if you have questions then I’ll be happy to share my experiences.

Drew Macomber You have went above and beyond! Thanks again! I think I’m going to try the 1bd first and see how it goes as it would be much cheaper to furnish. I really appreciate everyone’s insight and I’ll post the results.

Deborah Hardin Drew Macomber Awesome info, thoughts and suggestions! I also really appreciate everyone’s willingness to help. Property is a duplex: 1bd and a 3bd. Property is right next to my house, so it would be convenient. Property was renting for $875 and $550. Utilities around $150 Payment$294. Insurance about $630 per year Taxes $414 per year My hesitation is putting another 1k in the 1bd and 2k in the 3bd without knowing if it will equal to my current rental income.
